Our Vision: We imagine a world where every person shares power.

Our Mission: We mentor people to become leaders who risk, reflect, and relate as a way of life.

Forty years ago, we started as a grassroots organization, working with youth and youth groups, training them to adopt a new approach to team leadership. The foundation and effectiveness of this approach is rooted in a whole person philosophy.

Our focus on developing the whole person impacts their inner life, character, relational and emotional intelligence, capacity to deal with differences, and ability to find collaborative solutions for the challenges that their community partners face. In 2010, we decided to formalize this approach to the development of youth and adult leaders and established Ledge Leadership as a vehicle to offer this unique leadership model to clients at a community, national and global level.

Our Values: 

1. Inspire Young Leaders - we invest in this life stage as it is critical to shaping leadership effectiveness.

2. Embrace Differences - we value all people equally and work to build relationships in a non-judgemental and caring way.

3. Engage the Whole Person - we nurture all aspects of a person to enhance their personal contribution and impact.

4. Cultivate Teams - we are convinced working together is the most effective way to generate lasting results.

5. Engage Interculturally - we build relationships across the road and around the world.

6. Build Partnerships - we strive for connections with individuals, organizations, and communities to generate mutually beneficial outcomes.
