Project LEAD Leadership Experience
Project LEAD is a structured leadership development program designed to support student
growth through consistent learning, reflection, and mentorship.
Participants engage in two required sessions each month:
1. Monthly Leadership Seminar
A guided learning experience focused on core leadership concepts, skill development,
and interactive activities. These sessions include discussions and real-world scenarios
that help students apply leadership principles in meaningful ways.
2. Alumni Mentor Group Session
A small-group experience led by Project LEAD alumni mentors. These sessions emphasize
reflection, peer connection, and practical application of leadership skills through
conversation, coaching, and shared experiences.
