“I hated life in many ways, but still every year going on a trip made me feel so much better. My sucky times and bad memories really stopped me from wanting to be better. Trekkers gave me hope and made bad go away. I don’t know where I would be without Trekkers. It’s made me better.” --12th grade Trekker |

Program
What does it mean to be a leader? This question is at the core of Trekkers’ Leadership Training Program for students in the 11th and 12th grade. This program provides students with the opportunity to learn, reflect and discuss what it means to be a Trekkers, community and global leader through a three-day overnight leadership retreat. After participating in the leadership retreat, students are then eligible to put that knowledge to use by participating as a student leader on the 7th, 8th and/or 9th grade expeditions.
