VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
July 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Through
its non-profit Visteon Fund, Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC)
recently donated $4,000 to support a
leadership-building program for students at Tyler Elementary School
in Belleville, Michigan, near the
company's corporate offices and innovation center in Van Buren Township.
The donation was facilitated by one of the company's employee
resource groups, Women in Visteon, in support of the school's
Leader in Me program. The innovative, school-wide model is based on
the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" created by the late
Stephen R. Covey – which is designed
to develop leadership skills and build confidence in students from
childhood.
Tyler Elementary recently completed its second year of
participation in the Leader in Me program, which teaches critical
thinking, goal setting, listening and speaking, self-directed
learning, presentation-making and the ability to work in groups –
all skills designed to enhance the future workforce.
Aleisa Pitt, Tyler Elementary
School principal, thanked Visteon for its ongoing support and said,
"Things that we have done this year are proof that when children
are given the opportunity to lead, great things happen. And great
things have definitely happened at Tyler."
Visteon's donation reinforces the company's ongoing commitment
to the communities where its employees live and work. Visteon
employees in Van Buren Township
have also partnered with Tyler Elementary for a volunteer reading
program that recently completed its 11th year.
The Visteon Fund is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization that
has funded programs around the world, primarily aimed at improving
the lives of children by providing food, shelter, health care and
mentoring activities.
