LeadUp! 2021
February 26, 2021 @ 6:00PM — February 28, 2021 @ 3:00PM Central Time (US & Canada)
A servant leadership weekend workshop for high school students. Students come with a problem they are deeply passionate about and learn how to develop a Blueprint to solve the problem.
To change the world, we need to be intentionally developing and shaping our next generation of servant leaders. ARM's leadership expo, Lead Up!, is a time of leadership development and "visioneering" designed for juniors and seniors in high school who desire to take their passion and ideas and translate them into action. Interactive sessions at Lead Up! are facilitated by ARM's Executive Director, Lisa Pierce (a Colonel Pierce in the Alabama National Guard), along with the Lead Up student design team and ARM summer interns from previous years. This is a weekend designed specifically for students in high school who have a passion to learn the principles of how to tackle a problem such as hunger, housing, education and more.
What Will Students Learn?
- Identify a passion or problem of concern
- Develop a set of core values
- Organize a community mission and vision
- Develop an action plan and recruit volunteers
- Plus more!
ARM will use its context and explore how it started and have grown through the years. The students will then be guided to use their own vision and passion around any area of need they see in their community – or beyond!
Who Should Attend?
LeadUp is designed for Juniors and Seniors in High School and college students with a passion to serve and leadership potential.
Why only Juniors, Seniors, and college students? These students will be supervised by ARM staff, ARM board members, and college students so we're looking for mature students. There's also a potential for these students to be offered a 1-2 week summer internship to serve alongside the ARM camp counselors this summer either in construction or day camp ministry.

What Will Students Do?
The sessions will present topics that help take an idea from start to finish. Youth will bring an idea around a need or passion they would like to work upon or support. After each session, you will break into groups and have a guided project time. It is part presentation and part application/project development. We will guide you through this process and when you leave you will have the foundation for a workable idea. You will receive support through periodic check-ins to see how each youth is doing and any help that is needed.
Youth who participate will also have an opportunity to come over the summer for a week during our mission camps and shadow our college counselors.
