Lead: BwB's yearlong leadership program

Lead is BwB's leadership program that empowers students to make positive changes in their personal lives while contributing to the improvement of their communities.

Lead is a yearlong commitment that requires members to attend monthly workshops and work one-on-one with an adult BwB staff mentor and peer role models.

Through these workshops and meetings, Lead team members develop their skills in effective communication, teamwork, leadership, planning, finances, college preparation, job training and more.

Lead includes year-round leadership training and projects, including an intense six-week summer component, which includes: * a one-week Service Learning Trip * a one-week professional development session * a four-week work internship where students work at local businesses

During the school year, Lead team members also contribute to their school's BwB program by attending meetings, service projects and fundraising activities.

Lead is offered to students in 9, 10 and 11 grades at high schools that currently host BwB's after-school program.

All Lead team workshops, trips and activites are paid for by Building with Books.
