Leadership for Today and Your Future is a hands-on, summer leadership course taught by Alternatives, Inc. The course will take rising 9th and 10th grade students on a journey of personal exploration and discovery, as well as help them increase the knowledge and skills needed to demonstrate effective and confident leadership. Upon conclusion of the program, youth will be introduced to a variety of leadership and service opportunities in their schools and community, in which they may want to participate.
Class instruction is based on the work of Stephen Covey’s book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and the Center for Creative Leadership. Class includes 2 field trips, small and large group discussion, role play, and use of art, writing, and other creative expression. Each session is designed to answer the three questions every great leader grapples with: “Who am I? Who do I want to be? How do I get there?”
Class topics include:
- Knowing yourself and taking responsibility for your life
- Developing your mission and goals for life
- Putting action to your goals
- Understanding the types and styles of leadership
- Leading creatively
- Communicating your ideas effectively
- Styles and methods of decision making
- Working together amidst diversity
- Servant leadership: Using your skills to make a difference
As part of their learning experience, students will also participate in 2 group field trips:
- Students will participate in an outdoor challenge course designed to build teamwork skills, increase self-confidence, and allow for real life application of leadership concepts. These types of courses are utilized throughout the country by Fortune 500 companies to foster teamwork and leadership skills in their employees
- Students will plan, develop, and lead a service project of their choice, where they will utilize the skills of leadership that they have been exploring throughout the program.
Leadership for Today and the Future is currently being offered as a ½ credit elective class for High School Students in the City of Hampton. This year, we will be offering the course specifically to rising 9th and 10th grade students. Registration is limited to the first 25 students and is based on a first-come, first serve basis.
