Through a powerful coaching experience, Marcy Morrison, Founder/President of Careers with Wings uncovered that her life's purpose is to provide children with wings to rise above poverty.
Marcy’s vision for Children with Wings continues to evolve. She has come to realize that her Careers with Wings and Children with Wings work are meant to be tied together, because it is via career training children can find their path out of poverty.
Marcy has teamed up with Alexis Dixon, Principle, Mediation Solutions to teach teenagers/young adults to help them clarify the complexities of their adolescent journey into adulthood. By awakening students’ desires, they allow them to experience and examine themselves fully and as a result, they present themselves more authentically to the world.
Marcy and Alexis awaken students to themselves. Thus, they discover their ability to ask themselves the right questions - further tapping into their own internal compass, which leads them to uncover their unique passions and strengths.
In their quest to become functioning adults, students are taught how to articulate their passions within themselves and to the rest of the world. Throughout the process, they are provided with the necessary tools to deal effectively with conflict which allows them to unearth their authentic self, creating greater self-awareness. As a result, students interact with the world with renewed energy, enthusiasm and confidence about their unique gifts, passions and strengths - further realizing their ability to contribute to the world. Imagine a world filled people connected to who they are and passionate about their contribution. For media clips on Alexis and Marcy's work, please click here.

Marcy has also been working on collaborating her vision with other organizations with a similar vision for example with Kelly Sullivan Walden who developed the UN Dream Project and Donna Pinto of Kids for Peace.
Marcy has also realized like Kelly and Donna that the world’s children are the ones that will lead the way in developing solutions to poverty and also like Kelly, Marcy sees herself as a facilitator to this incredible resource that our children are.
Through discussions, Marcy also sees the possibility that school curriculum can be redeveloped to incorporate her Careers with Wings philosophy where she firmly believes that each person needs to follow their own passion and their own strengths and then apply that to how they can make the biggest impact to making our world a better place.
Marcy’s bigger vision is to develop an internet based television show around the Children with Wings concept to inspire the children of the world to work together to create abundance and joy for everyone around the world.
Marcy has also been inspired by several books that have set her on a quest to find empowering solutions (wings) for children and communities to rise above poverty throughout the world. Marcy was greatly inspired by John Wood's book Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, which is the story of his organization Room to Read a remarkable organization that is giving children wings to rise above poverty by building schools and libraries in conjunction with local communities around the world.
Another influential book is the End of Poverty by Jeffrey Sachs, which outlines solutions to ending poverty. His solutions have been put into action with the UN Millennium Project. Another inspirational book is by Muhummad Yunus Banker to the Poor. A book that covers empowering economic solutions to poverty is Capitalism at the Crossroads by Stuart Hall.
Marcy is presently working on finding empowering solutions for communities living in poverty. If you have a project that is along these lines, please contact Marcy Morrison to discuss ways to collaborate.
