    LEAD 2023 - 2024

    Youth Engagement Program for High School Students

    The LEAD program is designed to inspire and equip high school students with essential leadership skills while nurturing a strong sense of social responsibility. Our goal is to cultivate socially conscious leaders who not only excel academically but also actively contribute to creating a better world for all.

    By participating in the LEAD program, you'll engage in hands-on volunteering, dynamic expert-led workshops, and thought-provoking speaker sessions.

    Key program details include:

    1. Program duration is from October 1st, 2023, to September 30th, 2024.
    2. Each registered student will receive a Sewa shirt for event participation, so please select your correct size during registration.
    3. A mandatory 2-hour in-person meeting will occur on a designated Sunday each month. Details regarding the  meetings and its timings will be communicated before the LEAD program begins, and these in-person meetings will be held at SCC. These meetings offer students the opportunity to meet our adult leaders, connect with fellow LEAD students, engage in project discussions, share ideas, and build an effective leadership network.
    4. Quarterly in-person Speaker Series (a chance to interact with accomplished personalities) attendance is mandatory for all LEAD students.
    5. Registration to LEAD offers the opportunity to apply to our exclusive Design to Lead (DTL) program, by invitation only for selected students.

    These experiences will ignite your leadership passion, enhance collaborative skills, and guide you in making meaningful community contributions. As you embark on this transformative journey, your registration reflects dedication to personal growth, cooperation, and positive impact. Join us in shaping a generation of impactful leaders.
