LEAD:
Become a Summit Speaker
LEAD is our three-part series for a certification in experiential leadership each spring. It consists of the LEAD Workshop, Global Impact Challenge and LEAD Summit. Together, the immersive model equips, inspires, and encourages high potential youth to become active and engaged leaders in their personal lives and communities.
Each year we invite influential and impact-driven leaders to join us in conversation to share their unique experiences and insights on leadership. These Masterclass Conversations are unique in that they are youth-led and facilitated by alumni of our Global Youth Leadership Fellowship program
For the first time, the LEAD Summit Masterclass Conversations series will be live streamed to our network of youth opportunity partners in the United States and globally.
