Student Leadership
Developing the now generation of leaders.
Become a leader worth following
The Student Leadership Program is a nine-month interactive and immersive experience that equips high school students to dream big and become the leaders God has called them to be. We’re not training the next generation of leaders — we’re training the NOW generation!

A closer look at the program
The Student Leadership Program equips teens to lead confidently and step into their purpose.
Each Sunday, our Student Leaders join other student leaders in person or on Zoom (2:30-3:30PM ET) to grow in faith and leadership through interactive sessions.
They also complete weekly take-home assignments, spending about an hour a week reinforcing what they’ve learned.
Student Leaders commit 1-5 hours each month to hands-on projects aligning with their chosen leadership track, keeping them engaged in the program’s mission.
They also serve on an Elevation YTH eTeam, where they grow personally, develop leadership skills, and make a real impact as they contribute to advancing God’s work through Elevation YTH.
Student Leaders are matched with trained mentors in their leadership track who equip them with the resources they need to succeed. Our mentors invest in Student Leaders both professionally and spiritually.
By working one-on-one with a mentor, every student has an opportunity to strengthen their skills, expand their expertise, and stretch their faith.
Choose a leadership track
Youth have the opportunity to pick their own path within our Student Leadership Program. These tailored tracks will immerse students in specific areas of our ministry. They'll gain the skills, experience, and relationships needed to make a lasting impact, no matter their passion.
