Overview

Envision Leadership offers its expertise in developing and implementing leadership education in a number of different settings and contexts, from camps and workshops for students aged K-12 to permanent in-house programs for organizations.

Recognizing a void in character-based leadership education for K-12 students, EnVision Leadership has developed services in a variety of formats designed specifically for youth. These sessions are fun, interactive learning experiences that challenge and inspire students to recognize their own leadership potential. Participants are empowered through engaging activities such as team challenges, problem-solving exercises, skits, games, videos, case studies, debates, and discussions. EnVision Leadership's objective for each program is to instill an understanding of leadership as a process and to provide leadership skills to put this understanding into action.

An innovative leadership development program that empowers a diverse team of high school students with leadership skills, mentorship, an internship opportunity, and resources to lead action projects in the community.

Leadership in Action

Leadership in Action is a student-driven program designed to empower participants as community organizers and leaders. EnVision Leadership has designed a two or three-day leadership-training program that covers the following leadership competencies: Appreciating Diversity, Self-awareness, Servant Leadership, Communication, Ethics and Character, and Leading Change.

EnVision Leadership will provide leadership coaches, curricula, and resources to assist groups in implementing this program. Leadership in Action provides an excellent opportunity to involve students that do not serve in “official” leadership positions, or schools that are focused on cultivating stronger peer-relationships. This program can complement an existing program and be tailored to suit specific leadership competencies that coordinators and educators are interested in developing in participants.

In most Leadership in Action programs, participants will work collaboratively to design and implement a Leadership in Action project following the leadership training. Past programs and events planned by Leadership in Action participants have included: Service Events, Speakers Series, Neighborhood Revitalization Projects, Leadership Camps, and Community Conferences.

Leadership Coach Training

Leadership Coach training is for students, parents, teachers, educators, and volunteers who want to become mentors and resources for youth leadership development. In order to make leadership a part of every student’s education it is critical for all members of communities to encourage students to develop their leadership ability and apply their skills in a variety of settings. Most importantly, effective coaches model the leadership values that they want to instill in students.

We train leadership coaches to serve as experience facilitators that are capable of implementing our leadership curricula in a variety of settings including: summer programs, school-based programs, at home, on teams, and in the community.

Leadership Camps

EnVision Leadership has developed a three-day inclusive community camp for middle school students. High school students are trained as leadership coaches that are involved in the coordination and facilitation of the camp. Camp participants and coaches work together to learn about leadership through fun games, team challenges, an extensive leadership curricula, and community action projects.

EnVision Leadership can also work with you to enhance an existing camp or student program with additional leadership education curricula that is tailored to the emotional and developmental needs of participants.

Leadership for Life

EnVision Leadership collaborated with Delta Gamma in 2003-2004 to design Leadership for Life, a leadership development program designed for all members of Delta Gamma. The comprehensive program is an ethics-based development experience that was designed for collegians to members celebrating 50, 60, even 70 years of membership!
