      FBISD Board of Trustees wishes to invite current FBISD students who are interested in developing their leadership during their junior year to apply for participation in the Student Leadership 101 Program. Through a series of monthly seminars, selected participants will explore their personal roles in community and school leadership and volunteer service. School Board members will sponsor and attend the student seminars on topics such as personal leadership skills, youth advocacy, service and volunteerism, local government in action, business, and health care.

      This program is limited to upcoming 11th grade students. The cohort will consist of 36 students with 3 representatives per high school in the district. Applicants should be in good standing based upon grades, attendance, and behavior; have an interest in developing their personal leadership skills; have permission from their parent or guardian; and be willing to accept the attendance and participation expectations.

      If selected, participants will commit to a two-year program.

      In Leadership 101, juniors will observe leadership in action, learn leadership skills from community and school leaders, and develop their own leadership skills. Students will visit community sectors and learn about the different organizations in Fort Bend County. 
      In Leadership 102, all members of Leadership 101 will graduate together into the second year of this program. As seniors, student leaders will apply what they learned in Leadership 101 to support community service projects with area non- profit agencies. They will partner with one single organization and visit them monthly to work on a Capstone project to support the organization. 

      Interested applicants and their parents should review their schedules and commit to the two- year schedule prior to submitting an application. Participants are required to attend each  seminar in its entirety. Full-day seminars are scheduled for the following Wednesdays during the school year:
