Are you looking for an exciting and enriching opportunity to develop your leadership skills?! Look no further! The Institute™ by LeaderShape® is a nationally recognized four-day, three-night leadership retreat held for Illinois undergraduate students that will take place January 11-14, 2022, at the Allerton Park & Retreat Center in Monticello, IL.
This retreat provides participants the opportunity for self-discovery, self-reflection and feedback in a community of approximately 60 peers. Not a typical leadership retreat, the Institute is grounded in helping individuals identify the values they hold that lead to making a difference in the communities around them. Through self-assessment, intensive small group discussions, team building challenges, and more, participants will develop a vision for something they care about. By leading with passion, integrity, and a healthy disregard for the impossible, participants explore who they are and the impact that they want to have on communities working towards a more caring, just and equitable society.
