Leading by Example

The more you give, the more they’re ready! Our students are ready for the real world because of people like you, and fundraisers everywhere, are giving back and inspiring youth to lead! See who’s making it happen for us and search for fundraisers that you can contribute to. Your generosity will enable us to provide leadership development opportunities to all students, regardless of their location, financial barriers, or technology access. Thank you!

How You Can Help

Fewer than 32% of youth in Georgia have exposure to a leadership development program by age 25.

40% of Georgia high schoolers have no career training experience.

By 2050, there is an expected 46% growth in jobs statewide.
21st Century Leaders  provide students with access and opportunities throughout the school year and beyond to become the next generation of leaders. Career-Ready Leaders are just one click away…

Leadership is in everything you do and is unique to each individual! I love how at the beginning of every new school year, my 21CLub does leadership and personality quizzes and activities to have the members get a sense of what their leadership style is. Being able to embrace your leadership styles allows for you to appreciate who you are and effectively lead different groups in ways that will positively benefit all!
