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?
The Future is Now
Our mission is to empower students to become changemakers through dynamic leadership programs and workshops.
Inspire Citizens provides student leadership events, student leadership workshops, and personalizes in-school or virtual programs or resource kits 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, student leadership groups, MYP Service as Action or CAS projects, and other kinds of capstone, service learning, or personal projects.

A Changemaker Journey: the Way One School Leads by Example
Frankfurt International School (FIS) in Germany has become a well-known school for anyone interested in active global citizenship and student leadership.
As news spreads of the FIS Changemaker Conference, the story of what is happening at this school is migrating around the world and inspiring interest and action at other schools.

Cultivating holistic student leadership
When three passionate educators gather around a water cooler, all kinds of things can happen. At the International School of Bangkok (ISB), a water cooler conversation has culminated in a powerful and multi-layered approach to develop student leadership, and the results are inspiring.

That’s where our student leadership plan started. We knew we wanted students to develop the capacity to lead their own leadership workshops, and to take on the growth of a student leadership program.” (cont…)
