Impact Through Action

Palmetto Christian Academy PCA is a ministry of East Cooper Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, SC. Re-imagining High School Leadership, Palmetto Christian Academy is pleased to participate in the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy! The Leader Academy is a national high school leadership program focused on IMPACT THROUGH ACTION. The world needs more leaders who impact local communities, and we believe high school students are the answer! The Chick-fil-A Leader Academy brings a fresh approach to leadership and empowers young people to make a difference. This is a year-long curriculum, taught once per month for approximately one hour. Up to 30 students, grades 9-12, will be selected to participate after an application process. The program engages students with a monthly “Leader Lab” focusing on important leadership skills including vision and values, servant leadership, teamwork, communication, and innovation and impact. Throughout the program, students plan an “impact project,” which is the culmination of the program. The community impact project is student-planned and student-led.
