ABOUT NEW WORLD FLOOD
New World Flood, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded by Heather Sheets and Todd (TJ) Duckett, former MSU alumni and retired NFL football player, to encourage and provide opportunities for education and volunteerism in children and adults, both locally and in underprivileged areas abroad.
New World Flood believes that citizens can be change agents in their communities by using education and service as a means to sustain the overall welfare of their environment. New World Flood seeks to help citizens develop a sense of responsibility for the overall well-being of their communities and help them use their dreams as a means to drive their motivation to make direct impact on their communities. By focusing on youth, community, education, and service, New World Flood seeks to provide a mechanism by which citizens continually grow through their purpose and community engagement. New World Flood is an entity by which every individual can make a difference in their communities, because a single raindrop is the beginning of a flood.
A MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER TODD J. DUCKETT
New World Flood was started with a belief that we could motivate people to take positive steps in their lives to become the best person they could be, inside and out, through positive thinking, and positive acts of kindness.
A friend and I had a vision of inspiring people through stories of our lives. We started talking to classrooms, then to full school assemblies. I have shared my message of success in football, the lows of my depression after football, and my every day journey now. The root of the stories and the journey now are based out of volunteering, giving, and service. Stories of how we look inside to change the world around us. I lost my identity after playing football and started to act out of character. Seeking GOD led me to a New World of purpose. From the old world of Sports Center, ESPN and Sports Illustrated, to the New World of reading, watching the local news, visiting local nonprofits, and thinking of all the ways I could give. A whole New World of Life. That's where 'New World' in the name comes in.
I also had learned that every culture has the story of a flood, and that flood starts with one drop, one day, and after 40 days, the water covered the earth. Once the flood is over, there is a fresh start. So once our organization volunteers with you, things won't be the same. There will be positive movement, hope and new growth. Your one act of service will lead to more and more raindrops of service, and over time, together, we will flood the world with kindness."
