Why Leadership Training?
Schools today offer more after school activities and organizations than ever before. Within the context of these activities, teens can find opportunities for greater personal growth than they can within the confines of the classroom. In student activities, teens can learn more about themselves and life in general than they can anywhere else. That’s why colleges favor involved students. Yet, colleges are not simply looking for filled resumes. Colleges look for evidence of meaningful activity and leadership. Students leading students. Students working cooperatively on meaningful projects. Students solving real problems and dealing with real issues — that is what STUDENT leadership is all about. Leadership is a set of skills that must be learned. There is no such thing as a “born leader.” Yes, there are inherited traits and qualities, such as being an extrovert, but applying those traits to lead requires skill. Listening is a skill. Communicating is a skill. Problem solving is a skill (actually a set of skills). Time management is a skill. Goal setting is a skill. The list goes on. And then there are qualities of leadership, such as commitment, determination and empathy. These qualities can be learned, not by preaching, but through experience. SLTP teaches how to recognize and develop these qualities through experiential learning. What does it take to be a leader? It takes the desire to make a difference. That begins as the desire to belong to something meaningful. Teens live in a very real world, with very real issues. Student leadership is the answer and SLTP is the best place to begin.

Teens today face many diverse challenges. Whether the challenges of today are more difficult than the challenges of yesterday is the subject for editorials and sermons. What we do know is that kids today live in a fast paced world filled with extraordinary pressures, responsibilities and requirements.
