Living as Leaders started in spring 2018 with the purpose to increase youth’s understanding of leadership and their knowledge of life skills by creating a space for them to come together, learn and begin practicing those skills and traits in the pursuit of academic and personal success. The program is implemented in partnership with LIFE Mentoring.
The spring 2022 program is designed for girls in grades 3 -5.
