“Embedded within the Leadership Springfield program is a sense of community involvement. Whether it is participation in the United Way allocations process or serving on a Chamber of Commerce committee, many of the volunteers will have graduated from the Leadership Springfield program.”

The Academy Committee develops and presents a leadership program for high school students who attend the Springfield R-12 high schools or high schools located within the Springfield city limits. If the student changes schools following the retreat, he/she may continue to participate in the program.
