Our Program

VARSITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IS A NON-PROFIT DESIGNED TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO GROW IN

SELF-AWARENESS
ACCOUNTABILITY
EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE
UNITY
IMPACT

The program focuses on values that challenge students to use their influence for good and to affect change. Students learn to self-evaluate, grow through community, and put an action step into practice every week. These sessions are facilitated by community leaders who serve as a model and resource for their growth.

Program Overview

Leadership Values

We offer options of 2 FREE Varsity Leadership Academy Volumes with each resource containing 10 value-based lessons, discussion questions, self-assessments, team assessments, and action prompts. Through our student-led, facilitator-guided course, students will build emotional intelligence, resilience, and accountability, with self-assessments and application steps weekly.

Influence by Community Leaders

VLA community leaders, also known as facilitators, will guide students on a weekly basis and serve as a mentor and resource for their growth. They will empower students to self-evaluate and apply leadership values to help others in the community.

Outreach and Servant Leadership

Our goal is to help students know that being a Varsity Leader is about using their influence to reach out and serve others. After completing the sessions, they will put the lessons into practice by serving their local community through a strategic bridge-building outreach, with the goal of carrying these values of service well beyond the program.

Differentiators

We provide more than just leadership curriculum:

Real Community Impact

Students learn from a Community Varsity Leader who lives out their values and then puts them into practice together by participating in an outreach that impacts others

Student-Led and Interactive

Students lead their peers through group discussions and not lectures, while guided by a facilitator.

Self-Awareness and Accountability

Each week, students have to rate themselves and their team on how they are doing on that value and what action step they will take to improve on it
