The Brain Exercise Initiative is a student run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses math, reading and writing as a form of cognitive development for the elderly. It is found that simple math exercises and reading aloud for just 30 minutes a day 5 days a week can have a positive impact on memory for those with Alzheimer's. This is currently being done extensively in Japan. It was discovered by a Japanese neuroscientist, Ryuta Kawashima, and consists of math exercises and reading aloud of short stories. Done for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, improvements in Alzheimer's patients have been observed. It is currently being done in 1,400 care homes with 15,000 Alzheimer's patients across Japan and has had great success. Many individuals showed improvements in communication and behavior. Some went from being bedridden to sitting in a chair or walking. Some showed improvement in controlling their bowel movement. Additionally, they began to feel happier. In order for the program to be successful, the exercises must be done on a regular basis. The brain exercises must be offered multiple times a week and on schedule. It is for this reason that we must have reliable volunteers who understand and appreciate the importance of our work.

Our mission is to provide a dynamic platform for aspiring political scientists, politicians, and future diplomats to engage in thought-provoking discussions and practical training, ultimately preparing them to tackle the complex challenges of our ever-evolving global political landscape.

Our club is founded on two core principles:

1). Fostering Intellectual Engagement: We offer a stimulating environment for our members to delve into weekly freeform discussions about the latest events in both domestic and international politics.
These conversations serve as a bridge between the academic theories learned in lectures and their real-world applications.
By drawing on the knowledge acquired through course materials, members gain a more sophisticated and applicable understanding of the intricacies of politics, policy, and governance.

2). Developing Practical Expertise: We are dedicated to equipping our members with hands-on experience through weekly training sessions and competitions that simulate the real-life issues and processes of being a diplomat or politician.
Through these activities, our members gain the necessary hard and soft skills required for careers in diplomacy, domestic politics, geopolitics, and in-depth political research.

Whether it's achieving the geo-strategic goals of the international community as a nation-state with a team of three, or emulating the role of a politician tackling their constituents' needs, the goal of this club is to empower our members to work collaboratively to devise innovative solutions to pressing geopolitical issues and the needs of our nation.

Future Leaders in Government believes that through rigorous engagement in course material and real-world training targeting the necessary skills, we can become the leaders of tomorrow.
We encourage critical thinking, empathy, and a commitment to ethical leadership, preparing our members to navigate the complex challenges of the political arena and contribute positively to our society and planet.

Diplomacy: Members learn the art of diplomacy and being a diplomat, which involves tact, flexibility, quick thinking, and effective communication under great pressure in international and domestic contexts.

Policy Analysis: Discussions and simulations enable members to delve into policy analysis, the formation of their own opinions, and understanding the intricacies that go into policy-making.

Global Awareness: By engaging in international political discussions, members develop a broader perspective and awareness of global issues, which allows all of our members to be much better global citizens and political actors.

Teamwork: Simulations and collaborative problem-solving tasks promote teamwork and collaboration among members, which are essential in making informed political decisions.

Ethical Leadership: The club emphasizes a commitment to ethical leadership, instilling values that guide members in their political and diplomatic endeavors that respect all cultures and have the ultimate goal of benefiting humanity.

resources to help further their academics as well as help network alumni Persian Jews with
