The Teen Ethical Leadership Program is a series of dynamic, interactive workshops that aim to inspire ethical leadership and social activism in teens, ages 13-16. In a youth-centered approach, the students are engaged by the enjoyable process of ‘doing.’ They learn about the art of leadership through group activities, role-playing, simulations, challenge games, case studies, community service, journaling and reflection.

The goal of this program is to provide teens with the foundation, tools and techniques for ethical leadership: leadership based not only on great knowledge and skills, but also broad vision, integrity and good character. Students will develop confidence by learning new skills and will become role-models for other students. They will learn how to value themselves as talented individuals with great potential to improve society. The shared experience with positive, like-minded teens will sustain their motivation for personal growth and self-development for years to come.
