If the school is interested, the Principal selects one or two specific classes to participate in the program. Currently, we are focusing on 5 th -7 th grade. Once a chapter has committed to the program, they can select brothers to serve as facilitators. Brothers will pair up and co-facilitate all six sessions during the fall or spring semester at the school. Each of the sessions has facilitator guidance notes, handouts and ideas for discussion.
Most sessions require about an hour of preparation time.
Chapters that are using the LEAD Program are invited to apply to participate in the program. It just makes sense to teach young people right from wrong, in the classroom, living room and locker room. We want to be surrounded by good people, people we can trust to make decisions according to principle rather than expediency. The commitment of adults to be models of good character and spend time with young people can make a difference. Young people yearn for consistent adult involvement, and when they get it, according to surveys and plain common sense, they are less inclined to irresponsible sexual activity, drug and alcohol use, suicide attempts, vandalism and other problems.
