Developing
leaders is probably one of the single most important tasks
for each generation.
Healthy
role models, critical leadership skills and personal beliefs
come together to define the leaders of tomorrow.
Our Youth
Leadership Program is an opportunity for students to participate
in powerful activities and discussions, causing them to examine
the current state of their leadership and identify critical
areas of growth. The Youth Leadership Program is more than
just conceptual, this program will teach the fine art of leadership
through theories, activities and reflection.
Egos,
cliques, friendships, diversity and campus norms are just
a few of the realities your students will need to manage as
leaders. In this Leadership Program, students will learn new
skills in these areas and become more powerful as role-models
for other students.
Using
P.R.E.P. - Personal Responsibility Empowerment Program - as
the backbone of youth leadership, we have created a program
specifically for youth leadership.
The program
works equally well with Student Government or simply a group
of students who wish to become better leaders for themselves.
Where
are Leadership Program's conducted?
This program can be conducted at one of our High Ropes Course
facilities or a venue of your choosing.
What
is the ideal group size for a Leadership Program?
15 or more
How
long is the Program?
Our programs vary in length depending upon what you desire
for your students.
Typically
we suggest you begin with a one-day Leadership Workshop and
see if the students feel it was valuable. If so, we can then
look at a program over the school year or semester that will
build upon previous learning and create cohesion among the
students.
What
is the Process used During a Leadership Program?
The process begins with a pre-course consultation to learn
of the specific challenges and desired outcomes for your leaders
and/or leadership program. Program then develops an orientation
that weaves the appropriate leadership skills and behaviors
into an understandable and enjoyable process.
The group
then engages in a series of activities designed to immerse
the students in the learning process and provide experiences
with direct links to leadership practices. For details see:
low ropes course and/or high ropes course events.
After
reflection, each student will identify the specific leadership
quality they experienced, either positive or negative, and
how they will apply this knowledge in the future. The activities,
challenges, and simulations become increasingly complex forcing
students to go beyond their normal approach to leading and
the paradigms that produce only marginal results.
As students
progress through the Leadership Program, personal breakthroughs
are unavoidable as each participant learns to leverage their
talents. The program concludes with students verbalizing their
commitment to improving a leadership skill or implementing
new ones.
After
creating and sharing their personal homework assignment, students
leave with new skills, a commitment to improve and a shared
experience that will sustain their personal and collective
growth and not soon be forgotten.
