Lincoln Leadership Workshop Application Form
In our free, hands-on Lincoln Leadership Workshop, students step into the role of a leader, defining what leadership means to them. Guided by a teaching artist, this dynamic experience empowers students to explore, create, and lead—on their own terms. During the 45-minute in-classroom session students will also participate in a group problem-solving activity and reflection. Following the interactive workshop, classrooms will receive a set of student workbooks called The Top Hat as well as a online teacher companion guide.
Workshop dates can be scheduled March 2025. Please allow at least one calendar week to process and confirm the workshop date and time.
