Leaders 4SC is a set of two week-long workshops for middle school students on leadership, communication, decision-making, and advocacy. Our goal is to train the next generation of civic leaders: members of a community who actively participate in society.
Curriculum
The workshop will work with students on developing a variety of skills and gaining topic area expertise in various subjects.
By the end of each week, students will have participated in three major projects:
- Written at least one article or speech arguing for and defending their opinion on any current issue
- Participated in daily discussions and activities on a different major current event every day
- Participated in a Leaders 4SC Conference activity, where they roleplay as business, government, or non-profit leaders to solve a national or global issue that the group chooses together.
Students may attend either or both of the weeks: Writing Focus Week 1 and/or Speaking Focus Week 2.
