Leaders International Information

Leaders International's mission is to inspire and empower youth of the world to become leaders by providing opportunities far beyond the everyday scope of school, religion, and community. Leaders was co-founded in 1996 by Michael and Jerold Samet and has grown into one of the premier international youth development and education programs today. Leaders' unique series of leadership programs provides learning opportunities that go far beyond school and classes. The Programs focus on developing the skills of the students in a practical atmosphere in which the students are experiencing the lessons. From learning to leading We start teaching skills and lessons, and then shift to letting the students be the leaders – putting into action the lessons learned Cultural immersion We immerse students in cultures while they learn understanding and tolerance from exposure to participants from around the world. Experiences of a lifetime From activities to locations, from speakers to sessions, our students are given opportunities and experiences that they will never forget. Using these elements, Leaders students embark on a learning experience that exceeds the constraints of the classroom and teaches students more in a week than traditional schools can teach in a year.
