Hamden, Connecticut: What began with a book about helping young professionals navigate the ‘corporate jungle’ has evolved into a foundation that develops young leaders through training, immersive learning, self-discovery, and philanthropy.
While leadership development is at the core of the You Got This, Kid! (YGTK!) Leadership Foundation, YGTK!’s mission is to support those affected by Lupus and promote environmental sustainability in our local communities.

YGTK! Pillars

● Leadership Development: Provide leadership training and immersive learning experiences within universities and corporations internationally

● Advance Lupus Research and Awareness: Lead philanthropic efforts and provide support and resources for those affected by Lupus

● Environmental Sustainability: Our focus centers around removing toxins from our communities and environment, as they have a particularly harmful effect on those living with autoimmune diseases

The YGTK! Leadership Foundation’s programmatic and philanthropic efforts have expanded nationwide. Donations that are made to YGTK! go to YGTK!/the Saia Family Fund at Quinnipiac University.

Our foundation’s influence has only just begun, and we welcome you to join us in our journey to develop young professionals, support those affected by Lupus, and promote environmental sustainability in our local communities to make for a brighter tomorrow.

The foundation actively generates charitable funds through YOU GOT THIS KID! Words of Advice for Young Leaders book sales, merchandise sales, speaking engagements, and direct donations to support each of its pillars through Quinnipiac University.

About YOU GOT THIS, KID!
Words of Advice for Young Leaders
You Got This, Kid! challenges young leaders to find the secret sauce that will help them carve their unique path through the corporate jungle. Drawing on 30 years of experience, author Chuck Saia makes seven unforgettable analogies between the business world and the animal kingdom, from developing an armadillo’s thick skin to spotting scorpion-like managers to building a team of dolphins. All proceeds from You Got This, Kid! Words of Advice for Young Leaders will be donated to the Saia Family Fund at Quinnipiac University benefiting Lupus research and environmental sustainability efforts. The book
