Laughing and Learning - That's Our Goal.

A study was done that correlates community service with academic success; students who maintain a weekly community service record, 85% of the time, are more likely to succeed and have a higher grade point average than those who do none at all.

Having Fun and Making A Difference.
You don’t need to be an adult to make a difference. If your heart is telling you to take positive action and make a difference in your community or in your world, than use the NLT to organize your thoughts and ideas into a project to help your community and your world.

Have fun by getting your friends and family involved in something that is worthwhile and good. You can have an active role in participating in community action projects in your community that are meaningful, educational, and FUN!

Through the NLT, You will complete a project that is important to you.
Do you care about animals, the environment, political issues, peace, world awareness…etc? Your projects can range from many different types and topics and should not only be important to you but be fun and educational too.

Include your friends!
As an act of leadership, you won't be completing these projects alone. Ask your friends and family to help you accomplish your goals.

Start Small and Grow
Your initial project can be something small. An example would be finding 10 friends to perform 10 acts of kindness each. That equals 100 acts of kindness! Or another example would be to find 10 friends to help you pick up trash along the side of the road (with parents help of course). Your project doesn't have to be huge, every little bit counts! Begin to build your Project Portfolio with small projects, build success, and then grow your projects as you get older.

Starting At A Young Age
When a child is exposed to the character traits of a leader at a young age and is surrounded by positive role models and other leaders, they will naturally gravitate towards becoming a powerful leader themselves. It may take some time, but trust that your leadership project training, no matter how small, will pay off in the end.

NOTE: At your young age, though you don’t have to be an adult to make a difference, you may need an adults’ support to help you get your project going. Be sure to ask for your parents help and permission in launching your project ideas.

Rules...(or Guidelines) For You To Engage In A PBLT Project

Every project must require the participant to involve one or more people in the endeavor.
Every project must require some kind of benefit to something or someone in the community.
Ideally, each project is chosen by the participant, the exception being projects that require several students and/or projects organized by the group leader.
The initial project shouldn’t be a complicated one –and ought to involve no more than an hour or two of work (1-2 months for the first project and shouldn't take any more than 3-4 months between projects after that).
Every project is to be documented in your NLT team's Project Portfolio.

"Clara's experience with the Leadership Quest Program has been very positive. Although we can see some very positive changes in many ways, there was one incident that spoke volumes to us; we had spoken to Clara's current teacher during open house and she was telling us how much Clara participates in class and raises her hand all the time. Until she set that goal, every teacher prior had told us how quiet and reserved she was!"

- Tami Schroeder
(Clara's Mother)
Clara is a Quest Student

"...Its been amazing to watch our youngest daughter transform from a shy 5 year-old to a confident 9 year old. She has experienced the satisfaction that comes with overcoming one's fears to achieve your goals.
We have also witnessed a remarkable level of focus and determination in our older daughter. She has become goal oriented and has worked very hard for her multiple achievements...
We are very pleased with the [NLT] Leadership Program. Not only does Mr. Engels teach the skills needed to advance in martial arts, through this website and this program, he is helping to mold our children into responsible citizens. His leadership program focuses on the development of positive character traits through lessons involving goal-setting and community service projects... The Leadership Program comes highly recommended by all members of the Raykovich family!"
