not given the ability to be authentic

leadership training in the

Executives lack inclusive leadership

training which hinders creativity

Business Model

99 Documentaries- “Let’s Scale the Movement”

What we learned from our pilot?

Spectrum of possibility

Influences from unexpected

placesSelf discovery

Safe and intentional is effective

• Partnerships with multiple local non-profits allowed for diverse recruiting

• Spectrum in 5 focus areas was clearly represented and evenmore identity categories were Represented

• Young leaders became important to each other in ways they never have before imagined

• Our job became to facilitate the interaction between studentsby providing structure, frameworkand safety

• In this approach we advocated for transparency, but no direct answer about what things should be

• No direct influence means safety and understanding

• Young leaders created their ownhonest questions and observations through conversation and experiencing • Social programming was just as effective were young leaders talkedabout topics they never talked about before

• Self discovery is very impactful
