Leaders 4SC is a summer workshop for middle school (rising 5th to 9th grade) 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.
By the end of each week, students will have:
You can login anytime during “workshop hours” every day and interact live with staff and other students.
If you miss part of a day or activity, there will be a replacement activity you can do on your own to make sure you don’t fall behind or get a lesser experience.
You can participate in the workshop at any time of the day with the pre-recorded activities and lectures and still learn everything.
There will be at least one staff member available in “office hours” between 8am EST and 12am EST to help you with your assignments or explain something if you are doing it on your own.
One Week: $150/week
Two Weeks: $275/total
Three Weeks: $400/total
Four Weeks: $500/total
Five Weeks: $625/total
Six Weeks: $750/total
On top of the lowest prices on the market, need-based financial aid is available. No student will be turned away because of cost.
All of our content and activities can be viewed and done from any internet-connecting device with a browser and keyboard. That can be a tablet, netbook, laptop, computer, or even a smartphone with a bluetooth keyboard.
If you don’t have any of the above or think using your device will hinder your workshop experience, email us and we’ll try our very best to get you connected with a better alternative.
All of our curriculum is planned down to 30-minute increments and for live and pre-recorded versions.
Our non-live options are not just recorded live versions or copies of things we will do live, but specifically designed to be done by students on their own and recorded separately or in some cases even animated.
We’ll make sure there are enough instructors that every child gets personalized attention.
All assignments will either get immediate computer feedback (multiple-choice questions, drag/drop activities, etc) or guaranteed personalized feedback (for writing and for speeches).
EVERYTHING will occur on one site with one login on one page at time.
You won’t have to have multiple tabs open to access the live class and the activities.
You also won’t have to download any special apps or use any special equipment.

We use a custom platform that allows students to watch live and recorded lectures, complete group activities and online games/puzzles, and submit all assignments from a tablet/computer from home.
The workshop will require students to have access to a laptop/computer/tablet during the workshop times or they can watch any of our recorded lectures and do the activities from anywhere.
