OUR LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

Leadership programs allow teens to gain valuable leadership and service experience.

Teens conduct activities in four key areas:

  • Leadership
  • academic success
  • career pathways
  • community service

DEFINING LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE

Leadership is more than directing a committee, planning an event or speaking to a group. Leaders are people who think for themselves, express their thoughts and feelings honestly and directly, act on their own beliefs and inspire others to do so. An act of leadership could be taking charge of a situation or a group, but it could also simply be helping someone else without being asked.
