About

The Leadership Engagement and Development (LEAD) Team is a student organization that plans programs to empower and promote UNLV student leadership development and civic engagement.
 
We view leadership as a purposeful and collaborative process of creating change, and we believe leadership is a process with which everyone can engage. Our programs are designed to help every UNLV student-regardless of previous experience with leadership or identification as a leader-to understand, value, and practice socially-responsible leadership.
 
Civic Engagement is an important part of community membership.

Events

The LEAD Team hosts free, fun, dynamic programs and workshops to help every UNLV student learn and practice leadership skills!

Leadership Lunches

Meet new people and talk about leadership during these hour-long workshops with snacks hosted throughout the semester.

Snacks & Skills

Civic Engagement is a set of skills, knowledge, behaviors and motivations that we can all learn and develop. These hour-long workshops  are designed to equip you to be a more prepared and engaged community member.  (Learn about topics and skills such as: elevator pitches, redistricting, running for election, rights and responsibilities of protestors, countering voter suppression, and election research.)

LeaderShape

Sign up for either a 2-hour workshop (Courageous Dialogue or Resilience) or a day-long LeaderShape conference (Catalyst) where you’ll learn about dialoguing across difference, moving through difficult experiences, or your own role in being a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of.

Leadership Certificate (co-curricular)

The co-curricular Leadership Certificate is a way to recognize students who have engaged in multiple LEAD Team events throughout the year. As always, the experiences will be grounded in social justice and social change-- but we also strive to make things fun and relevant to your future path. Email [email protected] for more info.  Co-curricular certificate recipients are recognized annually at the Impact Awards.
