FIFTEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The FIFTEEN leadership and life skills development program is the premier program for E2L. FIFTEEN carries students through a three-year interactive curriculum focusing on core values of character, commitment, service, and life-long learning, during which they learn social responsibility, self-awareness, leadership, and life skills.
Program goal
The goal of FIFTEEN is to develop emerging leaders within public high schools and, as a result, to produce well-rounded individuals who take ownership of their future and who promote social responsibility within their communities.
