4 Things Make LeadYoung Unique:
- Executive Caliber: Our focus is organizational leadership, not just being a good citizen, performing community service, growing self-esteem and character, or team building. We’ve age-sized executive training, modeled after high-end adult programs.
- Expert Design: Unlike most “leadership” resources for students, LeadYoung is designed by leadership experts in correlation with expert practitioners (teachers, educators, child/youth workers).
- Active Learning: You’ll not find talking heads or boring lectures. This is learn-by-leading, focusing on skills and experiential training methods (21st-century pedagogy).
- Scalable: You don’t have to hire an expensive pro or send your students to pricey camps. Rather, we train people how to use this in their own organization, so more can afford to participate.

The KidLead Narrative
Once upon a time
The world was run by leaders who randomly emerged in society.
Everyday
People complained there weren’t more effective leaders and fewer unethical ones.
One day
Someone came up with a way to identify and develop leaders, long before they normally came into power.
Because of that
Leaders started being intentionally developed very young, while they’re still moldable.
Because of that
People around the world began seeing the power of what young, trained leaders can do, as never before.
Until finally
The time came when a new breed of leader ran the world, more effectively than ever and ethically. The world was a happy place.
