Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders
At GrowLeadEmpower, we believe every student has the potential to lead — they just need the right tools, support, and opportunities to uncover it. With over 20 years of experience in K-12 education, Dr. Tennille Woodward understands that leadership isn’t just for adults — it’s a skillset students can begin building now to thrive in school and in life.
​
Our Youth Leadership programs are built around the real needs of students: the need to be heard, to believe in themselves, and to learn how to lead with purpose. We help students develop confidence, character, and resilience through interactive workshops, hands-on activities, and meaningful reflection.
​
Whether it’s strengthening communication, solving problems creatively, or working through conflict as a team, students walk away with practical leadership skills they can use every day — in classrooms, friendships, families, and future careers. Rooted in proven strategies and leadership principles, our programs empower students to lead themselves well — and make a difference wherever they go.
​
Join us in shaping confident, capable, and empowered young leaders!
