WHAT WE DO: Programming Strategy
Like the experienced hiker who's pursuing his or her journey to the summit, the programming for the Sagamore Leadership Initiative takes students on a similar journey. Our goal is to help young leaders navigate life and ultimately reach their summit of greatest success--that is, positioning them to influence the culture for the greatest good. The Sagamore Leadership Initiative offers next-generation leaders the opportunity to develop their leadership potential within a variety of dynamic environments--all while learning alongside their peers from some of the top leaders and culture-shapers of our day.

School-Year Program
The School-Year Program is the conduit through which we do our most significant leadership development. And it provides the creative environment for molding the minds and leadership potential of students 9th grade through post grad.
During the school year, students are invited to attend regular Sagamore meetings at various locations around central Indiana. As a part of a leadership learning community, they are challenged by various leader-teachers in both large group settings and small group settings.
