Usher Surprises Kids At London Youth Club As Part Of His 'New Look Foundation'

• 23rd Feb 2011

Usher’s New Look Foundation, a non-profit organisation founded by pop superstar Usher Raymond IV designed to mentor youth from impoverished areas, hosted a workshop in London at The Brunswick Club on Saturday, February 19th with a surprise talk from the mega star.

The day consisted of team-building, speakers and classroom break-out sessions where students learnt how to tackle community problems, the basic skill-set of becoming leaders and how to create a service project in their community.

Usher's talk highlighted the importance of pursuing passions and cultivating hard work in order to become a future leader. “Not everyone will be a star”, said the 'OMG' singer, “You may not all be footballers but it's about applying business acumen and using your skills to succeed and give back to your community”.

The Brunswick Club works to strengthen young people’s talents and encourage involvement in service and civic engagement, two main pillars that make up the New Look Foundation.

The New Look Foundation empowers, motivates and inspires young people to create change while offering them the tools and resources they need to succeed as leaders. The Foundation has provided over 150,000 hours of leadership training and has worked with more than 8,700 youth around the world.
