The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum for our distinctive Student Leadership Program (SLP)! SLP is a hands-on learning experience to develop fundamental leadership skills in fun and rewarding ways while forming meaningful friendships.
Activities are student-driven and include games, immersive and historical simulations, lessons on civil discourse, tours of the museum, service learning and the creation of a leadership action plan. Our programs are designed for both middle school (7-9) and high school (9-12) students. Depending on your school structure, 9th grade can be considered either the first year of high school or the last year of middle school. The virtual leadership program is available only to high school students.
