Student-Led. Adult-Supported. Future-Ready.

Leadership Is an Action, Not a Title

We believe leadership is the ability to mobilize people toward a shared purpose.

Our leadership programs give participants opportunities to practice:

  • Taking initiative
  • Facilitating teams
  • Making decisions
  • Communicating with confidence
  • Giving and receiving feedback
  • Managing challenges
  • Supporting peers
  • Leading projects
  • Reflecting and improving

For young people especially, leadership development becomes more powerful when they are trusted with real responsibility.

That belief led us to develop our Project-Based Leadership model.

The 8-Week Leadership Journey

Learn Practice Lead Coach Facilitate Multiply

This is where students begin building experiences they can talk about in college applications, scholarships, internships, interviews and future careers.

COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS

Experience That Goes Beyond the Classroom

Students leave Divergent programs with more than a certificate.

They develop stories and experiences they can demonstrate:

I identified a problem.
I built a team.
I designed a solution.
I built a prototype.
I presented my idea.
I led other students.
I learned from failure.
I improved my solution.
I created something that matters.

This is the type of experiential learning that can help students demonstrate leadership, initiative, collaboration, innovation and problem-solving in college and career settings.
