The next generation is here and wants to lead. They want the opportunity to see real leadership and put those lessons into practice. But what leaders can they turn to? 

They could be taught leadership is the hard, boisterous, self-aggrandizing methods we see online and on screen by leaders far removed from them. 

OR

They can learn a positive, cooperative, and firm version of leadership guided by members of the very community in which they live. 

The Wesley Servant Leadership Academy is looking to help teach young adults to be great leaders by partnering them with local churches, non-profits, and businesses in our community. Through Wesley Servant Leadership Academy, students will be taught how leadership works in the day-to-day with practical lessons by people that work in our local churches, non-profits, businesses, and government on:

• team building, 
• growth from success and failure, 
• communication, 
• sharing responsibilities and rewards 

As they learn these skills, students will be partnered with local institutions so they can see leadership in action and practice the skills they learn, while giving those institutions the help that they need from our young adults. Young adults learn about and help our community, while our community gets to see and guide our young adults forward. 

Being a leader is not a job title, but a practice learned and earned everyday by the actions we do. Leadership is learned through doing.
