The young have an immense stake in the outcome of humanity’s efforts to deal with social issues. LEAD gives high
school students opportunities to explore ideas and experience how they can make a difference in their own lives and
influence and support communities around them. Through these opportunities, young adults can gain skills in public
speaking, content research, event coordination, and other transferable skills.
The mission of LEAD is not only to channelize the energy and skills of young people but also to prepare them to become
leaders of the next generation. We aim to provide young men and women with the skills necessary to guide others,
influence opinions and policies, and become role models for their peers.
The LEAD Program is made possible because of the donations of generous supporters. Please consider contributing so
LEAD may continue to train and prepare young students to be leaders and change-makers.
