The challenge of achieving our full potential is compelling. This life-management skills training program is designed to empower us to do just that--to enable us to take responsibility for our own self-determination.

The beauty of the Amer-I-Can Program is that it is applicable to all people, as it transcends race, age, gender, religion, and socio-economic status. My belief is that teaching and sharing the program concepts related to self-esteem could significantly impact the problems our society faces today. I feel that the Amer-I-Can Program is, in many ways, a missing link that empowers those exempted from power and participation in the mainstream. We believe in and work effectively with those whom society disregards, contending that it is never too late to attain a full, meaningful life.

We in the Amer-I-Can Program are willing and capable of working with and enhancing any individual or organization that is motivated to effect positive change. Our practice is neither to condemn nor condescend. Completing the Amer-I-Can Program will change one's life and help him or her to become a contributor to a better community and ultimately, a better nation.

Jim Brown, Amer-I-Can Program CEO

We believe that the failure in personal development and the lack of self-esteem are the root causes of the aforementioned problems that plague our society today. 

We believe that by enlarging the scope of individual lives, by introducing them to self-determination techniques, by motivating them with goals, by showing them how to improve and achieve success and financial stability, we will save lives that now seem to be lost.

Amer-I-Can is comprised of the Amer-I-Can Program, which is a 60 to 90 hour, 15 chapter Life Management Skills curriculum that is designed to empower individuals to take charge of their lives, and the Amer-I-Can Foundation for Social Change, a non-profit organization created to offer social support and services to underserved populations and cities. 

Both the Amer-I-Can Program and the Amer-I-Can Foundation were founded by NFL Hall of Fame running back and motion picture actor, Jim Brown, who through many years of experience as a community activist, recognized that in order to be successful, the attitude of the recipient is paramount.
