LEAD Training (High School Retreats)

First, a high school team of about ten teens participates in leadership skills training retreat designed to nurture growth in servant leadership, community building, personal development, and faith. They learn an others-centered mindset and grow in respect for others, generosity, and active listening skills. The teen leaders grow as a team and learn to take a genuine interest in the young students who they will serve.

After training, the high school team offers a LEAD Encounter retreat for a Catholic middle school. They act as role models during fun, interactive teambuilding activities. All the students to work together in a fabulous experience of community. The students learn to listen to each other, respect new ideas, and discover they can overcome “obstacles” presented in teambuilding. A no-competition attitude is fostered in order to build unity and community. Students also play games, enjoy meals, and pray together.
