Within the J-Hawk Foundations program, there are over 100 Emerging Leaders.  These individuals have been nominated by a coach (or coaches) in their respective sport(s) as individuals who possess leadership traits and display the desire to lead others.  In addition to the large group Foundations sessions, Emerging Leaders are also asked to attend several other sessions throughout the school year to learn various techniques and practice leadership in action.

As part of their training, Emerging Leaders attend a Leadership Academy during the summer.  They have also attended the Pursuing Victory with Honor Summit at Iowa State University.  In addition, it was the Emerging Leaders group who crafted the Touchstone seen on the right.

 

Emerging Leaders also participate in the Seeds of Success program.  More information about that program can be found here.
