Here's what you need to get started

All Service Leadership Programs exist to help students learn and build leadership skills. Service Leadership Programs are started at a host site (a school or community partner) and are guided by one or more club advisors. Club advisors are faculty members or community partners. A sponsor is a Kiwanis club or other community partner.
