21ST CENTURY LEADERS INC
Mission Statement
21st Century Leaders (21CL) is a non-profit organization that connects, transforms, and inspires high school students across Georgia to leverage diversity, explore career opportunities, and become leaders in their schools, communities, and ultimately the workforce. 21CL students truly reflect the state’s diversity and hail from urban and rural settings and represent a range of religious, social, economic and ethnic backgrounds. Students interested in our summits and summer institutes submit applications and are chosen based on merit. For our week-long summer programs, a team of volunteers interview student applicants before choosing the final participants. 21CL’s expertise comes from the world of business. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) leads our application and interview process for our summer institutes. Our workshops are developed and led by business professionals. At our live events students have the opportunity to network with leaders in the Georgia business community.
