Leaders to Legends

Pillars of this youth leadership development program are:

  1. Character Development;
  2. Career Pathways;
  3. Service & Outreach.

Each pillar will provide a point of stability for students to successfully progress in their journey of leadership. OTIDE, West Alabama Chamber of Commerce, and involved school systems, will create opportunities for students within each pillar to help provide balance and ensure successful completion of the program. Opportunities will consist of a kickoff at the annual Adopt-A-School Breakfast, 6 themed sessions, service and outreach electives, mentorship, and an optional close-out presentation at the following year’s Adopt-A-School Breakfast.
