Synopsis

Distinguished Achievement Award

Every teen can be a leader. That's because leadership is not just about taking the lead in big ways, but in everyday small things, too. The sessions in this book guide teens to explore what it means to be a leader, how to work with others, ethical decision-making, risk-taking, team-building, communication, creative thinking, and more. Teens learn what's necessary to do something, even if that something is just speaking up. Choose the sessions that seem best for your class or group, or explore leadership through an entire school year.

The Web site connects thousands of individuals around the world with information and links that can help create meaningful leadership opportunities for teens and young adults. Mariam worked with college student leaders at Syracuse University, Santa Clara University and Metropolitan State College of Denver.
