The school-year program

Leadership is a year-round habit.

Task Force Saturdays keep it going all year. One Saturday a month, September through May, your child joins the same cohort for a four-hour deep-dive on a real issue — the same Know · Care · Act method as summer, one new topic at a time.

9 Saturdays · Same 1:7 care · Summer alumni save 50% · Aid available

Why families love it

One Saturday a month goes a long way.

A perfect first taste

You don't need to have done the summer program — drop into any Saturday for $50 and see if Leaders 4SC is your kid's thing.

Momentum that sticks

Skills fade by October when they sit unused. A monthly rep keeps the speaking, arguing, and building muscles warm between summers.

A room that takes ideas seriously

Four hours, one big idea, and a cohort of peers who argue in good faith — the same energy as the summer workshop, in a bite-sized monthly format.

Join us this school year.

Nine Saturdays, one small cohort, and a year of real projects. Seats are limited — reserve your child's spot today.
