Emerge-A-Leader Program (EAL)
Real-Life Action Planning

EAL Narrative:

There are profound benefits from young people being socially conscious and a part of an interrelated community with their peers and others. Therefore, our objective is to facilitate a program that encourages students to be positive influences and emerge as leaders within their school, home, and community. Emerge-A-Leader (EAL) is a program designed to support our students, significantly those underrepresented, in finding their voice and understanding how powerful and essential their participation is to social progression and inclusive development. EAL allows students to be active citizens (leaders) within their schools and community through carefully structured community service-learning projects, mentoring, and self-discovery. This staple program of State of Emerge-A-City, NFP (SOE) will enhance students' awareness of leadership traits, critical thinking, and action planning.
