Leadership for America

About LFA

If one seeks to lead others towards the good, both for the individual and for society, one must first strive for wisdom. Leadership for America is an annual summer series that challenges high school students to ask big questions. Each year LFA tackles a topic that is both relevant to man today, and to every man. Throughout the week the underlying principles of leadership, based on the natural law, freedom of conscience, and democratic ideals, are studied in the light of Judeo-Christian values and revealed truths.
