Welcome to The Leadership Club


Future Leaders Club - Mini Model Congress (6th-8th grade)

The Future Leaders Club and Mini Model Congress illuminates the American political, legislative and legal processes. Students learn about the need for law, levels of government, citizenship and the legislative process. The program requires students to use research and debating skills, understand parliamentary procedures and write legislative bills for a one-day simulation of Congress. The students adopt the role of legislator by debating bills for possible passage into law.

The following calendar shows the focus during club meetings.


The club has a coach who prepares the students, facilitates the meetings, coordinates with the Educational Information and Resource Center who runs the program at the state-level and ensures a positive and supportive environment for all members.
