Lace up. Show up. And let’s pave the way for a generation of strong, confident teens who lead with courage, compassion, and purpose.
When you run for LEAD, you’re running for a brighter, bolder future—one where every teen learns to LEAD themselves and make a difference in their schools and communities. For 16 years, LEAD has been the nation’s trusted leader in life-changing leadership programs for high school students. Through 73 conferences, we’ve empowered 48,600 students from 321 schools across Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and beyond—and the movement keeps growing!
Every stride, every step, and every dollar raised fuels opportunities for teens to discover their strengths, find their voice, and unlock their leadership potential.
Run. Give. Lead. Together, we’re building the next generation of leaders.
