Special Giving Tuesday is here—a day that inspires generosity, unity, and a renewed commitment to lifting one another. Around the world, people are choosing to give something meaningful: a helping hand, a kind message, an hour of service, or a donation that changes lives.
At Cumorah Academy, we believe that the most powerful gift anyone can give is the gift of education. Because education doesn’t just teach skills—it transforms identity, expands vision, strengthens character, and empowers future leaders.
This Special Giving Tuesday, we invite you to reflect on how your generosity becomes a living force in the lives of young adults from around the world. Your support fuels life-changing opportunities and helps students grow in every pillar of personal leadership, character, and purpose.
Today, as we look back at what our students experience every semester, we recognize the incredible impact that giving can have. Through your generosity, we are able to Give Skills, Give Change, Give Kindness, Give Purpose, Give Inspiration, Give Gratitude, and Give Unity. These seven pillars represent the heart of our mission—and the power of what your opportunity to give can accomplish.
Let’s explore each pillar of our Special Giving Tuesday focus and how your support directly strengthens it.
Give Skills: Leading With Positivity
Education begins with skills—not just academic skills, but human skills: communication, leadership, resilience, teamwork, and emotional intelligence.
At Cumorah Academy, students learn how to lead with positivity, communicate with confidence, and solve real-world problems with creativity and courage. Whether it’s refining their English, developing business knowledge, or working through leadership challenges, students gain the tools they need to succeed in life, work, and service.
But these skills aren’t simply taught—they are lived. In class discussions, team projects, devotionals, and mentorship sessions, students practice building uplifting environments. They learn how to move through adversity, influence others for good, and maintain a growth-driven mindset.
Your Giving Tuesday support helps ensure that these transformational educational experiences remain accessible to students who need them most.
When you give skill-building opportunities, you give students a brighter path toward self-reliance and future success.
Give Change: Cultivating a Growth Mindset
Change is not something students wait for—it’s something they learn to create.
One of the central elements of our programs is helping young adults see change as a personal responsibility, not an external event. Through mentorship, reflection, coaching, and daily habits, students begin to understand that they are capable of reshaping their own future.
When you support scholarships on this Special Giving Tuesday, you help young adults:
- Rebuild confidence after setbacks
- Learn how to reframe limiting beliefs
- Develop vision for their goals
- Understand the value of discipline and consistency
- Strengthen resilience through personal challenges
This pillar reminds us that real change begins within. And the most incredible part? Students don’t go through it alone. They grow together, learn from each other, and support one another as they gain the mindset that turns hope into action.
Give Kindness: Building a Culture of Love and Respect
Kindness is one of the simplest gifts to give, yet one of the most transformative.
At Cumorah Academy, students come from many cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. Despite their differences, they quickly learn that kindness makes connection possible. It allows everyone to feel seen, valued, respected, and uplifted.
Students participate in service projects, volunteer initiatives, and daily acts of compassion on campus. They learn the importance of:
- Listening without judgment
- Supporting one another during challenges
- Encouraging their peers
- Practicing empathy in leadership
- Treating others with Christlike love
Your donation on this Special Giving Tuesday helps keep this culture strong. Scholarships allow students from all backgrounds to experience an environment where kindness is not simply taught—it’s lived.
Give Purpose: Discovering Personal Mission Through Service
Purpose is not something students stumble upon—it’s something they discover through meaningful experiences.
Through outreach projects, humanitarian work, and deeply reflective sessions, students learn to connect their talents with the needs of others. They engage in initiatives that teach valuable lessons on kindness, communication, teamwork, humility, and service-driven leadership.
They discover that true purpose comes from contributing, not competing. From lifting, not limiting. From serving, not striving alone.
Your support allows these students to participate in experiences that many could never access otherwise. On this Special Giving Tuesday, your gift becomes the key that helps a young adult uncover who they are meant to become—and how they can bless the world.
Give Inspiration: Learning to Lead With Love
Inspiration has the power to ignite change in someone’s life.
At Cumorah Academy, students experience daily spiritual and emotional uplift that encourages them to lead with love, courage, and integrity. They learn from mentors, teachers, and peers who remind them that leadership is not about authority—it’s about example.
Your contribution ensures that students continue to learn from leaders who model compassion, faith, humility, and service.
You help young adults become the future leaders who inspire others—not by demanding influence, but by becoming the kind of person who naturally earns it.
Give Gratitude: Building a Heart That Recognizes Blessings
Gratitude isn’t a moment—it’s a mindset.
Students learn how gratitude transforms perspective, increases joy, and deepens connection with God. Through journaling, devotionals, and community experiences, they develop a heart that sees blessings even in challenges.
Every scholarship recipient lives with deep gratitude for those who helped them get here. They carry that gratitude into their families, communities, and future workplaces.
When you give today, you become part of that gratitude story.
Give Unity: Strengthening a Global Community
Unity is a miracle made possible through love, learning, and shared purpose.
Students come from dozens of countries, and yet within days they feel like family. They work through cultural differences, learn from one another’s stories, and build friendships that last a lifetime.
Your contribution supports a global community of young adults committed to becoming leaders who build unity everywhere they go.
