Social Leadership A

Why This Class

Life revolves around relationships—and so does your student’s future. The ability to develop healthy, vibrant connections and avoid toxic ones is essential for their long-term happiness and success. This course helps your student learn what it takes to create and sustain great relationships.

Mentors in this course begin by guiding students to identify what makes relationships work—and what doesn’t. Next, students reflect on their existing relationships, then read, write, discuss, and experiment on a quest to understand and improve them. Students also invite close friends and family members to complete an interpersonal analysis survey which opens their eyes to how others see them. Finally, students analyze and apply what they’ve learned to enhance their relationships with themselves and others.

By the end of this course, students gain the knowledge and skills needed to build and maximize relationships in every area of life. They are more emotionally intelligent and able to enjoy their time with the people who matter most.
