We, in part, see our mission at The Leadership Center as reflecting God’s love to those who we seek to serve. We practice and promote core leadership values throughout all levels of the organization.
  ❖ We foster confidence, resilience & perseverance.
  ❖ We inspire growth & transformation.
  ❖ We build faith-based community that is safe, diverse, & inclusive.

  One of the great benefits of The Leadership Center is its safe, rural environment, where we practice sustainable agriculture and engage in clean living practices. TLC does not have the infrastructure of a university in the developed world: quite the contrary. You will live off the grid. Sometimes, electricity, water, or Wi-Fi will go out. If you can go with the flow, improvise, and smile when things do not go as planned, you will help contribute to the positive atmosphere.

  Arbeit

  The young women who are selected to attend the center have already navigated significant challenges to complete high school. The center grants students’ full scholarships so that upon graduation they may start their own businesses, become teachers, enroll in higher education, or work with nonprofit organizations focused on development. The young women come determined, motivated, inspired, and grateful. We are highly selective in our fellowship program because our desire is to attract the best and the brightest to our program to influence leadership and capitalize on the potential of each of our students on campus. As part of the fellowship program, you will engage in both teaching and learning.

  Room and board are provided on campus at the center, the campus where we operate that is situated on a coffee farm in the mountains of Honduras. Staff members live either in a private room with shared bathroom at the large staff house, or they have their own private casita on campus. Meals are all provided in the shared dining hall, and individual staff members have access to a staff kitchen and often individuals choose to have some of their own personal food items in addition to that provided on campus.
