The Leadership Academy

The Premier SEL Program for developing Leadership skills and empowering teens.

The Tools to lead

Life-changing leadership and empowerment programs for teens to become the best version of themselves.

The Curriculum to grow

Driven by research-based results, our SEL curriculum provides teens with the skills and tools that are essential to leading a positive, resilient, and mindful life.

The community to thrive

When the Leadership Academy ends, the powerful community of mentors and supportive peers kicks in.

You guys are teaching them not only about leading other people, but how to be happy with yourself. How to understand your circumstances. How to deal with those things and move forward.
