"The Alumni Council has been an amazing experience for me to take learning to the next level. I've been able to apply myself in a leadership role in my community." - Participant, Houston, TX
“I learned how to advocate for a cause I feel passionate about.”
– Ava S., 10th Grader, Plano ISD and 3rd Year Lone Star Leadership Academy Alumni Council Member
"I learned that a leader must be adaptable and optimistic. Once my school was moved online and my county issued a shelter in place, we had to adjust our plan in order to succeed, all the while staying positive about the outcome."
-Mazie J., 10th Grader, Rockwall ISD and 2nd Year Lone Star Leadership Academy Alumni Council Member
"I learned not to just sit back and do nothing about a current problem; but instead not only get up and do it, but lead others through the journey."
