The Fred Saigh Leadership Program, beginning in fall 2004, broadens student horizons beyond the classroom through new and unique community-related opportunities.
Approximately 20 students who show leadership potential participate in a year of training. The curriculum introduces, fosters and develops leadership skills through involving students in issues that face the community. At the completion of the program, the students return to their respective schools equipped to campaign for school offices, manage school projects and assume leadership positions.
The selected students take one day every other month to visit and explore key sites/locations and meet leaders throughout the metropolitan area. The program exposes the students to the institutions that make our community vital and effective in meeting the needs of its citizens. Examples include a visit to the St. Louis County Executive’s Office, the St. Louis Mayor’s Office, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis County Police Department, and the State Capitol in Jefferson City, Missouri. During the months when site visits do not take place, students must work with their teachers on an activity. Click here for a schedule of 2019–2020 activities.
The deadline for program applications and nominations is January 28, 2020. For more information or if you need help with the online application, please contact Jeanine at jeanine@sef-stl.org.
