The ISABC, in partnership with Future Design School, has developed a student leadership program that aims to empower students by developing leadership skills which will then be applied directly in their schools.  The program began with a two-day residential leadership training at Keats Camp, students and teachers worked collaboratively to design a program for their school that seeks to respond to the question: ‘How might we create a more inclusive school community?"
 
Student have sinced returned back to their schools to implement their learning. Throughout this process, students will learn key leadership skills such as active listening, self-awareness, human-centered design, empathy, reflection, giving and receiving good advice, developing and pitching ideas, and public speaking. Teacher Facilitators have also receive hands-on professional development on how to apply design thinking tools and methods to enhance student learning and leadership.
