The ultimate goal of The Institute for Civic Leadership is to empower students to take positive action. It is no secret that inspiration sparks that fire. The ICL inspiration not only inspires the youth that it serves, but it also re-inspires the leaders interacting with these exceptional students. The ICL inspires through conferences featuring dialogue with local and global celebrities and, more importantly, these conferences provoke peer-to-peer inspiration from shared personal stories. The ICL links individuals who dream of making a difference in their world regardless of their socio-economic, racial, cultural and religious backgrounds.
