Mission
Through leadership development and mentorship, Vanguard Leadership Academy empowers overlooked and underserved high school students to realize their full potential and lead with purpose and empathy.
Vision
We envision a generation of compassionate, forward-thinking leaders empowered to create positive change in themselves and inspire positive change in their communities, and beyond.
OUR WHY
WE SEE YOU!
The world may overlook you. We don’t.
The world may overlook you. We don’t.​We see the students in the middle - not at the top of the class, not struggling at the bottom, but often forgotten in between. They’re not flagged for extra support or praise. They’re flying under the radar. Quietly capable. Often underestimated. But full of untapped potential.​
These students are the backbone of our schools. They are reliable, observant, empathetic, and resilient. They’re not looking for a spotlight; they’re looking for a chance. And when someone finally sees them, believes in them, and invests in them, they rise! And not just to meet expectations, but to lead, to serve, and to inspire others.
​At Vanguard Leadership Academy, we want you to know that you are not invisible.​
​
We provide more than leadership development and mentorship; we foster community. Every student we serve is a leader in the making, and together, we’re unlocking hidden potential and unleashing unlimited possibilities.
