Building Tomorrow's Leaders Jr. Logo

Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Jr. is a civic engagement and leadership program geared to upper elementary and middle school students. 

Feedback from teachers:

  • BTL taught my students to work together, listen to one another, and not to be afraid to share their opinions without hurting or offending others in the group. This group blossomed this year – they truly are our leaders of tomorrow.
  • Students became more actively involved in leadership roles. BTL emphasizes many skills that our young people need to be successful in society.
