LEAD is a student leadership curriculum that teaches students critical reasoning skills through local and global service projects. Students who enroll in the program develop an authentic solution to a local and global issue.
Over a 9-month period, students research their issue, develop and test their solutions, and then implement those solutions both locally and globally through international travel. The program matches state standards and upon completion, student work can be used for high school graduation requirements (in some states) or included in a college or career entrance portfolio.
LEAD launches every July with a summer intensive institute and then continues throughout the standard school year. Application information can be found below.
