Student Leadership Institute
Student Leadership Institute Overview
The Student Leadership Institute (SLi) provides a biblically grounded, year-long servant leadership program crafted to help students develop the skills and mindset necessary to influence their culture for Christ. Rather than simply offering a curriculum, SLi integrates a holistic leadership development program into a school’s core identity. Through a three-pronged approach—personal spiritual growth, theoretical understanding, and practical skill application—students are equipped to become Christlike leaders capable of navigating and impacting today’s culture. Our comprehensive SLi Educator Training equips schools with all the resources needed to successfully implement this program, fostering a lasting culture of servant leadership on their campuses.
Four Operating Principles of SLi
- Abiding in Christ
- Engaging the Culture
- Serving Others, Not Self
- Serving in a Local Church
Four Components of SLi
- Leadership Courses
- Leadership Opportunities
- Leadership Summits
- Leadership Skill Development
SLi Educator Training
The Student Leadership Institute offers a biblically-based program designed to assist students in cultivating and developing servant leadership skills. These skills will prepare them to influence their culture for Christ. The institute's mission is to aid students in developing their leadership philosophy and skills through a comprehensive, year-long program grounded in biblical principles. Intentional training for school leaders and teachers is provided before SLi implementation which equips them to create a student leadership program and culture on their campus. A customized approach is taken for each school, and a personalized implementation plan is developed during the training.
