Unfortunately all of our Spring semester scholarships have been granted so we are unable to offer further funding.

LeadUF is a foundational leadership experience where students will learn about, reflect on and develop their personal leadership framework. LeadUF is based on the understanding that leadership is a life-long journey developed by our experiences and engagement in the community and world.

The day-long retreats will be filled with interactive and hands-on activities that focus on leadership training. Participants will be part of small groups and paired with a Leadership Coach and LeadUF Alumni who serve as mentors throughout LeadUF. Bi-weekly meetings will focus on specific topics through small group discussions, engaging activities and talks from experts in the field. Topics covered include leadership theories, self-awareness, communication, diversity & inclusion, teamwork and social responsibility.

Registration is open and will  close when we reach capacity. Confirmed LeadUF participants will be notified by the end of February 2018.

"I enjoyed the people and the atmosphere of motivation and acceptance. The activities were engaging and kept people focused." 

" I went to LeadUF with no expectations in mind and it ended up being one of the most truthful experiences I've had UF. Everyone there was genuine with their intentions and just wanted to grow together. I learned so much about myself and my peers, I feel very grateful for taking a chance on this great opportunity."

" I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet other people and learn more about leadership. It also redefined my definition of a leader. It got me thinking about ways that I can be a better leader or just a better person in my community." 

" So many stories were shared and everyone managed to open up about their lives, it was awesome to see such a large diverse group of people together sharing the same values."
