A Message From Our Founder

Cultivating the Next Generation of Scholars

We believe leaders are made, not born, and that leadership is a life skill that can and should be developed. The 13th Man Leadership Academy’s curriculum will build thoughtful, purpose-driven leaders with relevant skills that will aid in their personal and professional self-discovery. Through this program, the students will gain access to culturally competent models to develop confident, capable, and civic-minded youth leaders for the future.
