Welcome to the Civic Leadership Foundation
Our vision
Generations of young people educated to become compassionate, entrepreneurial and engaged citizens who are empowered to take responsibility for their own lives and for making a difference in the world.
Our mission
CLF works collaboratively with teachers and educational organizations to design, deliver, assess and promote effective Civic Leadership Education (CLE) programs.
Why leadership?
In 2008 the Civic Leadership Foundation (CLF) was founded in response to the critical need for educational excellence and effective leadership in America.
We believe the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century require our education system to provide young people with the skills, values and experiences necessary to become compassionate, civically engaged and entrepreneurial leaders.
“The program offered through CLF has been an amazing experience. Our students are learning to effectively work together for a common purpose, resolve conflict independently, and appreciate the importance of taking ownership of one’s community.”
-Janaé Denton, Program Coordinator “I Have A Dream” Foundation, North Chicago
