The Aspiring Leaders Program for Students (ALPS) is designed to empower high school students to become autonomous learners and agents of their own change, while developing a comprehensive set of soft skills each student can rely on through leadership practice. Some of these skills include increased self-awareness, improved communication, emotional intelligence, personal maturity, effective decision-making, and problem solving. Life-ready leadership skills will be the impetus of the program. Curriculum will include content from a variety of quality leadership development resources designed for high school students that are looking to lead well and be future-ready graduates.
