Approximately 10-20% of children have natural, observable organizational leadership qualities. Another 60% have some degree of latent potential, allowing them to learn skills of influence. KidLead is not a kids' program emphasizing leadership, but rather a leadership program targeting leaders when they are most moldable. We have character-based curriculum for schools and civic groups and a faith-based version for churches and Christian schools. How it works: KidLead certifies trainers to use the LeadNow (& LeadWell) program materials, consisting of 4 training modules, each of which involves 8 experiential club sessions lasting 90-minutes each. Adults apply to become Certified Trainers. Once accepted, they pay a one-time fee for a 1-day, concentrated training and then are equipped to run their own LeadNow training club. (Discounts offered to non-profits.) Trainers are independent agents, but usually align with organizations that serve preteens, such as schools, churches, civic groups, and after school program providers. Parents apply for their 10-13 year old to participate, which involves a single application and 2 Social Influence Surveys. A part of LeadNow's effectiveness is based on the leadership aptitude of the participants. If invited to join, a participant fee is paid per module, established by the trainer. This includes the 12-hours of training, shirt, notebook, materials, certificate and ongoing membership in the KidLead network, plus 3-hours of parent training. KidLead is a non-profit, educational organization committed to raising effective, ethical leaders, by focusing on them when they are still pliable. We partner with organizations that work with kids and are serious about providing world-class training, based on some of the best in adult leadership programs. The curriculum is only available through certified trainers and is not an off-the-shelf caliber of resource. Advisory Board Members include national leadership and family experts: Dr. John Maxwell, Dr. Les Parrott III, Dr. John Trent, Dr. Teresa Roche and Steve Arterburn Contact us for more information, to contribute and/or scholarship young leaders, or to see how your organization and/or community can provide KidLead training for your future influencers.

What do you do when you see leadership ability in a child? Until now, you’ve pretty much had to wait until s/he became an adult, since formal leadership development typically begins between the ages of 25-35. But now there’s LeadNow, the only executive level leadership training program designed specifically for 10-13 year olds. (We let ages 14-18 use our materials in LeadWell).
