The Leadership Academy is a six-session series designed to grow leadership skills in High School Juniors and Seniors. Though leadership academies are popping up across the country, this academy is special and unique. Why? Our foundation is deeply rooted in developing young leaders through Biblical principles.
There is no cost for the Leadership Academy, however, we ask that students commit to attending all sessions before applying. Class size is limited to 12 young leaders.
