This year-long program is an extension of the main Leadership Tallahassee program for adults, bringing together a diverse group of high school juniors from public & private schools in Tallahassee who have demonstrated leadership potential in formal & informal situations, and preparing them to become ethical leaders committed to active community involvement.

About the Program

Students attend a series of sessions offered between July & April, including an Opening Retreat, seven program days, graduation, a class project, and an opportunity to serve on a community organization’s Board of Directors.

The overnight Opening Retreat focuses on team-building & defining leadership.  Students have an opportunity to explore a personal philosophy of leading and leadership. Interaction with classmates at the retreat & throughout the year helps to foster life-long bonds & build networking skills.

The seven program days focus on various current topics related to issues in the Tallahassee area.  Held on school days from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, class members will meet at a central location in the community to begin the day’s experience.
