Frank Biden: Helping young people realize their true potential

Frank Biden, the founder and president of Cygnus International, LLC, is also involved in a number of philanthropic organizations. One of these is Mavericks in Education, a specialized educational institution that aids at-risk students and dropouts in completing their high school education through alternative programs.

Institutions on alternative education support the education system. Without a doubt, traditional learning has worked to prepare many students for the future, and there are teachers and students who have found something that they can work on with such a setup. However, this is also not to say that the system has not failed several others.

Together with his colleagues at Mavericks in Education, Frank Biden believes that these young people who have been failed by the traditional system should be given another opportunity to study instead of being forced to adapt to a system that they can’t work with.

Life in school can be difficult, and when there is added pressure like financial problems or high expectations from relatives and peers, students may be forced to quit entirely. Otherwise, one can expect lackluster effort from half-hearted students who are expending most of their energies to fit in with the system – and that is not exactly helping them realize their true potential.

At this stage in a young person’s life, it is more important to give them the encouragement and the freedom they need to figure out their strengths and to improve on their weaknesses in order to prepare them better for college and for the rest of their lives.
