Our MISSION
(& the reason we get out of bed every morning)
VISION & MISSION | Project Leadership's vision is communities without poverty. Its mission is to provide equitable access to education and careers beyond high school. Consider: This morning a plant manager is walking into work, scanning the plant floor and facing the reality of an aging workforce. Miles away, a school counselor is starting the day with a full roster of students who need one-on-one career counseling, a direction for their futures and the knowledge about what it will take to get there. Outside the office, walking to their locker is an overwhelmed high school senior who is undecided about what the Monday after high school graduation will bring. They are unfamiliar with local job opportunities and confused about what type of education and training they might need. These are common realities across East Central Indiana and the reason Project Leadership goes to work every day, establishing community partnerships and providing one-on-one services for local students in career exploration, planning, readiness and experience.

Students, families and schools are supported through 21st Century Scholar advocacy, College & Career Curriculum design and delivery and completion of Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), College Applications, and Scholarships. Project Leadership facilitates Comprehensive Counseling Coalitions comprised of school systems across Delaware and Grant counties. The collective goal: to support more than 22,000 K-12 in college & career readiness, preparing as many students as possible for the answer to that all-important question: "What path will you be walking that Monday after graduation?"
