National Leadership Tour
Students nationwide are having a challenging time socializing in school including the best students who haven't had
disciplinary issues or behavioral problems in the past. Bullying in our schools and community is steadily increasing as well. Our
communities are losing too many children to suicide, emotional trauma, bullying related issues and senseless acts of gun violence. We
deliver hope, leadership guidance and direction, life skills, tangible morals, values and character development principles to help
students excel academically and to become good people in society.
