Inspire Students
Our students are asked to lead clubs, leadership groups, or projects,
but have we equipped them with the tools and strategies necessary for leadership success?
Our mission is to empower students to become changemakers through Student Leadership programs to empower students to live sustainably, and take meaningful action.
These include hands-on, personalized programs for students to explore ideas and tools for compassionate leadership, ego-to-eco mindsets, civic readiness, and futures and systems thinking that is applied and transferred into service clubs and councils, student leadership groups, MYP Community Engagmeent or CAS projects, and other kinds of capstone, service learning, personal or community projects.
