LEARNING
TO LEAD
The Access Foundation knows that it’s imperative that children learn leadership skills early in life, so
we have devised two leadership programs, one for middle-schoolers, and the other for high school
students, where they can learn skills they won’t find in a traditional classroom setting. Students who
complete our leadership programs face the world with the confidence that they can direct change in
their communities and make the world a better place.
The Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy is designed
for high school students in the Saint
Louis, Metropolitan area. We partner
with local high schools to deliver
content that emphasizes building
character and life skills, specifically
in the areas of goal-setting, handling
peer pressure, conflict resolution,
personal and financial awareness, and
community service. In addition, other
workshops delivered to the students
include Alternatives to College, Careers
in STEM, Coding, Preparing for College,
Self-Awareness and Self-Assessment,
Goal-Setting, Building Your Brand, Life
in the Military, Resume Writing, and
Interviewing.
Jr. Leadership Academy
Similar to the Leadership Academy, the Junior Leadership
Academy is designed for underserved middle school
students and immerses them in experiences that build their
character and emphasizes what they are learning in school.
Through lectures, discussions, and field trips, the program
nurtures students to grow and become leaders in their
communities. The intent is to prepare students to make
good decisions in their scholastic and professional careers,
as they learn, group decision making, problem solving,
higher-level thinking skills, and proper role modeling.
Student emerge from the program knowing that their actions
and choices impact their communities and that they have
strengths, values, and talents to find solutions.
