Answers: General

BOSS is an acronym for “building on spiritual substance.”  The mission of BOSS The Movement is to teach the relevance of God and His Word in meeting one’s need for success; and to economically empower youth through the development of their talents.
The vision of BOSS The Movement is a global generation trained to win the world for Jesus Christ through Kingdom economics, “doing business God’s way.” [ back ]
The program was founded in 1985 in the Compton Unified School District by ministers of the Gospel, master motivators and international speakers Al & Hattie Hollingsworth.  Since its inception, BOSS The Movement and its training principles have been embraced around the world in countries and regions including the Philippines, Indonesia, Caribbean, Nigeria, Switzerland, Japan, Ghana and Brazil.

Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, BOSS The Movement was founded by husband and wife team Al & Hattie Hollingsworth.  The Hollingsworths are wealthy business leaders, international speakers and ministers of the Gospel.  They are successful Christian entrepreneurs and CEO's with over 38 years of experience in the contract packaging business (www.aldelano.com).  The Hollingsworths are owners of the Alhatti Private Christian Resort, a four-star conference, retreat and vacation center for churches and community members.  Located in the mountains above Palm Springs, the resort is located on the former filming grounds of the Bonanza TV series and is dedicated to the Body of Christ (www.alhatti.com.)

Answers: Youth Trainers

BOSS The Movement takes place at churches and community organizations that are interested in hosting a program for youth in their community. [ back ]
Starting a BOSS The Movement program for youth is as easy as following the steps below:

1.  Identify two leaders (aspiring trainers) to attend a Vertical Leap Seminar.

2.  Attend the Train the Trainer event during a Vertical Leap weekend.

3. After Vertical Leap, take the written Trainer Test. (This is not a pass or fail test!)

4. Memorize all (10) BOSS The Movement pledges in and out of order.
 
5. Purchase a step-by-step "how-to" Trainer Manual and training CDs for each trainer.

6. Start your program!!!

Answers: Parents/Pastors

BOSS The Movement programs are designed for youth ages 7-17 years of age.  The BOSS The Movement teaches youth to:
Turn negative behavior habits into positive ones.
Operate in their God-given birthrights of confidence, courage, hope, belief, faith and trust in God as the source of their hope.
Strengthen self-esteem, motivation, poise and leadership ability.
Hone their public speaking skills.

And much, much more!

In the economic phase of the program, students receive their own BOSS-branded business and ATM cards. Youth earn income by providing their warm market of parents, family members, pastors and teachers with helpful products that can be purchased.  When purchases are made by supportive family or community members using any young person’s BOSS The Movement Student ID, then that young person earns income. This beginning “sales” activity provides a supportive learning environment for students to practice their newfound entrepreneurial skills.

Classes are taught by Certified BOSS The Movement Trainers.  Certified Trainers are men and women of integrity who take a “Vertical Leap,” a stringent training process taught by BOSS Founders Al & Hattie Hollingsworth.  Trainers are selected by each individual host location.

Enrollment fees are determined by each individual location and can range from $85-$200.   The enrollment fee covers curriculum-issued materials including the Student Training Manuals, and covers payment for one semester (20 weeks of training) in the BOSS The Movement curriculum. Some BOSS host sites may choose to provide the program to their youth for free, by sponsoring the cost of the program.  The enrollment fee is left to the discretion of each individual host site. There is a sponsorship presentation that students can make to their warm market in an effort to generate financial. Ask your program trainer for the information packet.
