The Community House


 


More Info



How is a 7th grade student nominated?


The 21st Century Leaders program started in 1993 as an idea of a board member of The Community House. Originally intended for the greater Birmingham/Bloomfield area the leadership program now expands over Oakland County.

More than 250 students have successfully graduated from this yearlong curriculum. They have benefited from having opportunities to learn and practice communication skills, conflict resolution strategies and goal setting habits.

Because of generous corporate sponsorship each year, The Community House can offer this program at no cost to students, their families and the schools.

Educators are invited, upon the request of the Leadership Director, to nominate three students from their schools. The 21st Century Leaders program is intended for students who:
  • Have leadership capabilities and would benefit from a leadership development program.
  • Would appreciate this opportunity and take positive advantage of it.

Does your school participate?


Although this is a wonderful opportunity and it continues to expand each year, not all schools invited to participate do. The following is a list of current schools that receive information and responded to our request.
