IChange Nations™ believes there are great people in this world living to make the world a better place. The majority of these people have never been seen or recognized for their contribution to make the world a better place. IChange Nations™ is working to establish a Culture of Honor around the world that sees the greatness in others and awards achievements that are making a difference in the lives of mankind. 

In the last few years the IChange Nations™Culture of Honor has grown rapidly. As of today ICN has honored everyone from presidents and first ladies of nations to AT&T phone salesmen. The belief of IChange Nations™ is everyone, that is serving humanity in a positive way and making the world a better place by living the Golden Rule, ‘Treat others the way you want to be treated,’ should be recognized and honored for their service to mankind. We have been fortunate to partner with the Golden Rule International Awards System and several other organizations and institutions around the world. Together the World’s Largest Honoring Network Establishing a Culture of Honor has come into being – IChange Nations™.

Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers, Founder and President of IChange Nations™ stated, “I believe that if we are going to make the world a better place, people need to know and see other people doing good things. This gives us living examples to follow. We are honored to discover that IChange Nations™ is the World’s Largest Honoring Network Establishing the Culture of Honor in the World. IChange Nations™ is humbled by this great accomplishment but know that much more needs to be done around the world. Our commitment to the world is to continue to establish the ‘Law of Good’ – do good to others and good things will happen to you.” The Vice President of ICN, Dr. Brian Williams said, “We just created an organization looking to find good in people again. I’m overjoyed by this accomplishment.” When talking to the Executive Director of ICN Dr. Robin Lococo, she commented, “We just plug away everyday to get awards out all over the world. We are just blessed to be able to bring good news to the world.”

CENTRAL OREGON COAST ICHANGE NATIONS™ YOUTH ADD VALUE™ INITIATIVE HONORARY EVENT A HUGE SUCCESS

With just a matter of several days passing since the first ever Youth Add Value™ honorary awards ceremony, it's unmistakable that people have been uplifted, lives are forever changed, and YAV's mission to give honor back to institutions and to uplift the youth of the world has only just begun.

On January 9th, 2016, 24 incredible Lincoln County citizens were presented and awarded by Youth Add Value™ in recognition of their exceptional dedication to the youth and young adults of Lincoln County, Oregon.

The tone of the event was serious but the energy was celebratory.  This was an opportunity to honor men and women who choose to make a statement every day about the value of young people through their common deeds, actions, and institutions designed to protect the youth of their community.  From law enforcement personnel, and foster care operators, to youth outreach programs, and prison ministries, it became evident quite quickly that Lincoln County is home to some of the most exemplary individuals on the planet.  Yet not a single person in the room ever did what they do with the expectation of an award at the end, and that's what Youth Add Value is all about.  We're giving honor back to the everyday heroes who are making a difference but fail to ever receive the appreciation and gratitude they deserve.

YAV™ sees your hard work and we honor you for what you do.  Without human beings like the ones who were recognized a few days ago, young adults would not be the well adjusted, socially independent, and prosperous individuals that we have the opportunity to become today.  It takes people who are willing to sacrifice their time, their energy, and their resources to ensure that generations of young people are equipped and able to grow into the kings and queens they are called to be. It requires people like each and every one of our award recipients.

While many of the award recipients at this event come from different backgrounds and have invested their efforts in unique and diverse ways, this ceremony did something special that very few other institutions are ever able to accomplish.  It taught each of us that even though we play different positions on the field when it comes to youth development, we all act as very important members of the same team.  It became apparent that if the world is ever going to be transformed into a peaceful planet where people know their value and treat others with the respect, dignity, and admiration that they deserve, it's going to take all of us.  In our unique areas, and in our own unique means, it's time to take responsibility for our nation.  It's time to live by the Golden Rule.
