Servant Leadership Application Project (SLAP)

The Servant Leadership Application Project is the final phase for Leadership Certification. Carthage students will need to utilize all of their training to accomplish this final task.

Students will partner with a Harborside High School student once a month and mentor their students in the areas of Team, Leadership and Character Development. In addition to this monthly mentorship, students will also assist in a Outdoor Orienteering program that pushes the Harborside High School students at Camp Quest, the location of Commando Training.

This last program serves to complete the full circle of leadership certification. After much hard work, students become the teachers and help these local high school students achieve their own leadership potential.

Real World Application

"It really has opened my eyes to a lot of things and made me realize a ton of stuff that I can do to better myself, as a person and a teammate. Now it's time for the hardest part — and that's actually putting what I learned into practice."
