Conducted and designed by MIT Sloan School of Management faculty member, the Leadership Conference, transforms high school students like you into confident problem-solvers, collaborators and communicators, who will solve global issues and lead the change of tomorrow.
Over the 5 day course, students work in a mentor-led group to understand a global issue – whether it is climate change, mental health, or poverty – and develop a social change project to address it.
What makes the workshop unique is that our mentor is an eminent faculty member from the MIT Sloan School of Management who has garnered invaluable experience and practical knowledge, and know what it takes to implement social change.
