We're on the lookout for high school students with leadership potential to participate on a transformative year of training.

The journey concludes with a graduation ceremony where they’ll share their most impactful experiences and the profound impact the program has had on their lives.

As part of the program, they get the exciting opportunity to explore key sites and meet influential leaders in the metropolitan area. Imagine visiting the St. Louis County Executive’s Office, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and even the State Capitol in Jefferson City, Missouri.

Students selected are those who demonstrate leadership potential through academics, school activities, volunteer work and community involvement.
