The LEAD program is designed to inspire and equip high school students (8th Grade through 12th Grade) with essential leadership skills while nurturing a strong sense of social responsibility. Our goal is to cultivate socially conscious leaders who not only excel academically but also actively contribute to creating a better world for all.
