Schools, after-school groups, and community
organizations identify students – from all walks of life and levels of skill – with leadership
potential who are capable of working as part of a team, and willing to bring new skills and
energy back to their community. Students participate in an array of learning opportunities – both within their own team and together with all of the participating teams – around topics in school climate, substance abuse prevention, and community involvement.

 

Every participant has the opportunity to develop or expand their leadership skills, build positive relationships with their peers and youth & adult mentors, and explore new ideas to improve their schools & communities.

 

Through this process, they learn more about themselves and each other, and about how to work effectively as a team. To culminate the program, each team designs an Action Plan for a project they will implement in their school or community.
