I’ve gotten a lot of confidence and leadership skills through the different opportunities here. Normandale gave me the right resources to build myself up. I used to feel like I was a follower, and now I’m a leader, and that’s what I’ve always wanted to be.”

Normandale LEAD Program

The LEAD Program at Normandale is a comprehensive, experiential learning program that provides you and your group with teambuilding and leadership challenges. It focuses on:

  • leadership (L),
  • excellence (E),
  • action (A), and
  • development (D).

The program consists of various team challenge initiatives, rooted in the experiential learning process, in which you and your group are presented with problem-solving situations and are challenged in a supportive environment. After each activity, the facilitator will discuss with your group what you learned and how you can apply it to your group and your lives.

The program is designed specifically for each unique group and is an engaging way to strengthen your club or team.
