The Posse Foundation Mission

The Posse Foundation's mission centers on the conviction that a select group of diverse, talented students - known as a Posse - can serve as a catalyst for individual and community development. In an increasingly multicultural society, Posse believes that 21st-century leaders should reflect the nation's diverse demographics.

The organization recognizes that the future of our country hinges on strong leaders from varied backgrounds who can collaborate to address complex social problems. Posse's primary objective is to equip these future leaders with the necessary skills and perspectives to make a positive impact on society. Through their efforts, Posse strives to create a more promising future for the United States.
