Future Leaders supports schools in developing students’ social-emotional and leadership skills alongside academic instruction. Programming is grounded in evidence-based SEL practices and aligns with Ohio’s SEL and 21st-century learning standards.

Lessons are intentionally designed to help students build confidence, collaborate effectively, manage challenges, and develop the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in school and beyond.

Future Leaders addresses a critical need in student development by strengthening the social-emotional skills that research shows are essential for long-term success. Investment in this initiative expands access to high-quality SEL programming that prepares students not only for academic achievement, but for meaningful postsecondary and workforce outcomes.
