Growing Leaders. Impacting Community.
We bring students, educators, and communities together to grow leaders and create real change.
The Leadership Experience Initiative (LEI) brings students, educators, families, and partners together through shared experiences that shape leaders. Student Leadership Development is at the core of our mission. Along the way, people gain confidence, build meaningful connections, and create real impact. Support from our community helps sponsor students and educators to participate—opening doors to opportunities that might not otherwise be possible.
