The annual Leadership Academy is a day-long event for our high school students where they can connect with their peers, meet with Pivotal staff and learn about what to expect in the coming school year and the support Pivotal can provide for them. The Leadership Academy creates a fun, relaxed setting where our scholars can get to know their coaches better and introduces them to the broader Pivotal community and other caring adults who are dedicated to students’ ultimate success. Scholars learn about growth mindset and build essential education knowledge on their path towards graduation in grade-specific break-out sessions.
AMBASSADORS
Our scholars are some of the most resilient people we know, and they have powerful voices. We’re honored that some of our scholars volunteer their time to share their stories as Pivotal Ambassadors. Our alumni and post-secondary Ambassadors speak at events for donors and community supporters, provide their perspectives in our newsletters, and share their learnings and advice with fellow scholars from foster care. They are our superheroes!
I was actually asked what I thought and was able to share my experiences and actually see my ideas and experiences impact decision at Pivotal.
