Our Approach
Engage
We engage students where they are with what interests them. Through a combination of inspiring storytelling and technology, we create compelling ways for students to re-imagine leadership and what is possible.
Expose
We introduce students to new and unique ideas and insights. Positive stories of impact are all around us. We bring these stories to light through monthly Leader Labs that highlight inspirational and informational ways to make a difference.
Equip
We equip students with tangible tools for their leadership journey. Ideas demand action, and we know our students have the ability to change the world. Our approach helps put students’ ideas into practice to positively impact their local communities.
Leader Lab Curriculum
Each month, students gather to learn timeless leadership principles through lessons that we call Leader Labs. Taught in a relevant and engaging way, these Leader Labs give students the practical tools needed to make a positive impact in their local communities.
