Social Action Projects

School and community action projects are a critical component of the two-year Global Leadership Program. Students hone the skills they have been learning as part of the High Resolves experience by engaging in real-world social action projects. To assist their efficacy, they are introduced to frameworks for organising and leading projects and also for driving social change. 

The program concludes with students engaging in reflection exercises about their leadership experience and future thinking about their personal path as a leader in society.
