"Al Duncan is the keynote speaker each year for the annual Power Over Prejudice Summit, held at Georgia Tech. This event trains over 700 middle schools students from some 70 schools each year, on how to deal with bullying, stereotyping and how to embrace differences in all individuals. His goal is to charge the students with insuring that they practice what they have learned and to carry those messages back to the rest of the student bodies. The students respond with excitement and true understanding, so much so that it is difficult to get them to leave to return to their schools. Al is truly an inspiration and motivator and has contributed greatly to our organization. Thank you!"

"Greetings Mr. Duncan!
I just wanted to take the time to say 'THANK YOU' for coming to Grayslake, Illinois and being the keynote speaker for the 1st Generation Youth Leadership Summit at the College of Lake County.
You definitely exceeded our expectations with your powerful, insightful and motivational story. The youth who were in attendance really enjoyed your speech. You are truly a hidden gem, but there comes a time when ALL gems have to shine!
There are many people who claim to be motivational speakers but only few can hold the title and claim full ownership.
Mr. Duncan, your participation was truly a connection that was meant to happen. We are all still flying high on your plane of inspirational guidance.
Please continue to pour into this generation as I am sure you will definitely make a great impact around the globe. I wish you the best and I hope that we will be able to connect in the near future as we continue to provide services for our target audience, which is low-income, first generation pre-college students. Blessings to you!
Best regards,"

"The Virgin Islands Department of Education promoted an initiative to address the needs of our at risk teens throughout our schools and community.
We called upon the expert Mr. Al Duncan, to assist in this endeavor. Mr. Duncan’s presentations included a series of workshops which addressed our Youth Empowerment Council in developing a zero tolerance for Gang, Drugs and Violence. Additionally, Mr. Duncan spearheaded and conducted our First Annual Male Empowerment Conference in the V.I.
His astonishing approach to connecting with teens is simply amazing to watch! Mr. Al Duncan’s insightful delivery and ability to identify and address to the needs of our teens kept participants on the edge of their seats.
Our teens certainly left with life changing thoughts and skills which will undoubtedly empower them in creating life changing experiences.
The Virgin islands Department of Education salutes Mr. Al Duncan and extends their deepest heartfelt gratitude for stepping up to the challenge and addressing the needs of our future leaders!"

"Al Duncan is one of the best I've ever heard. He weaves stories like David Copperfield does magic.
He shows you how to win over the Millennials--Gen Y. He's a master at inspiring your audience and even better at showing them how to excel with a very different "group" of young people. After hearing 'The Millennial Mentor' tell you what's on their minds, you'll almost certainly and instantly shift your strategy."

Kudos. Kudos. Kudos.

Al Duncan has that unique ability to simultaneously connect with youth and adults. An immediate kinship was formed with our youth that attended the Youth Conference. For most of our youth it was their first time ever addressing a group of people not their peers and we have no doubt that the confidence to do so came in large measure to their connection with Al Duncan. If you have youth or youth workers that you'd like to hear a motivational speaker give Al a call!
