We hope to encourage the growth of this flame through leadership training. In this way we hope to secure the future of our youth in both their lives and in our Society. The participants travel from across the United States to meet with their peers for a group learning experience. Scheduled speakers are exemplary role models whose stories will inspire and entertain. SNPJ, through the Fraternal Department, pays the transportation, lodging and meal costs for these participants to attend as representatives of their local Lodges and Circles.
Team leaders give talks on the importance of working together to solve problems.
They share personal experiences and motivate TEL participants to use effective leadership skills in their schools and community. The idea behind the group process is that everyone participates. Teens must learn to develop the skills and abilities to work interpersonally. The best results often come from a large pool of ideas reflecting the ideas of a variety of persons, as opposed to the one idea of a single contributor. Obstacles can be overcome and goals can be met when a group sets out to tackle the project.
