LSE Leadership Cadre: Launch Leadership Retreat

The Lincoln Southeast Leadership Cadre exists to further train and provide support for our student leaders.
We often find students with great leadership potential but they don’t have the tools or training to be their best self.

We know that high school activities are just the beginning for most of these students and we hope to provide them with lessons and tools to help them find success in a variety of endeavors -- even after they leave Southeast High School. We also know it requires a lot of trust and delegation from adults to put the mantle of leadership on a student and we want to assist our coaches and sponsors in providing these students with extra training and support -- helping student-led organizations be more effective so our students can realize their full potential.

Our curriculum is based on current leadership development research, as well as trends and issues we’ve seen prevalent within our walls. Some of the topics we hope to focus on are communication, making difficult decisions, delegating responsibilities, conflict resolution, and much more.

As we begin our fifth year, we want to do more! We would like to bring in an outside non-profit organization (Launch Leadership) to provide leadership training at the beginning of the year for a half-day retreat. Because this is a unique opportunity, built from the ground up within our walls at LSE that doesn't belong to any department or pre-existing activity, we don't have a budget or funds. As Launch Leadership is a non-profit, it charges a fee to come train to compensate for their manpower and materials. Requesting $750 plus cost reimbursement.

Your gifts will allow us to provide our students with this opportunity and start the 2023-2024 school year off on a successful, established foot.
