What is EOL?

Three themes build the foundation of EOL: Connect, Empower and Lead… be the example. The themes focus on character traits and interpersonal skills that will spell success for your child, whatever they chose to do in the future:

Connect:

• Developing new friendships and forming positive relationships
• Experiencing, managing and expressing emotions, ideas and opinions
• Developing empathy for others
• Regulating feelings of frustration and disappointment
• Recognizing the needs and wants of others

Empower:

• Critical thinking
• Effective reasoning
• Systems thinking
• Making judgments and decisions
• Creative problem-solving
• Working creatively with others
• Communicating and collaboration
• Productivity and accountability

Lead… be the example:

• Role-modeling behavior
• Managing goals & time
• Working as a self-directed learner
• Managing projects while guiding and leading others
• Being responsible to others and the community
• Helping others to develop the same skills

These themes are the foundation upon which we’ve built age-appropriate programs for students beginning in 5th grade, up through high school.

Business and individuals that partner with us help make Edge of Leadership programs possible. We work with donors to grow our scholarship fund so that even more young people and educators can benefit from the power of adventure. With your help, we can have a positive impact on our schools, communities, and beyond, now and in the future.
