OUR PROGRAM
The Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program is a two-year, comprehensive leadership program purposed to empower students to discover their potential and develop their skills as leaders. The program aims to enhance student learning and development in areas of self-knowledge and leadership competence through various workshops, teambuilding exercises, roundtable discussions, reflective activities, and service.
We embrace and are guided by the following tenets of leadership:
All students are potential leaders
Leadership is collaborative
Leadership is a process instead of a formal position
Community involvement/service is a powerful vehicle for developing a student’s leadership skills and knowledge
Leadership is concerned with effecting change on behalf of others and society
The program consists of two tiers:
Personal Responsibility and Development (Tier 1)
Group Application and Community Connections (Tier 2)
