Junior LO

Junior Leadership Oakland Program

Encourages and empowers young adults through four half-day interactive workshops.

This program was created for students entering high school in the fall. It is designed to promote leadership through personal and professional development, and community involvement opportunities in Southeast Michigan.

Whether you know it or not, you have leadership qualities that people around you appreciate. It’s time to explore your full leadership potential through Junior Leadership Oakland (LO). There is no grade point average requirement-simply a willingness to learn and interact with others to uncover your full leadership potential.

This is an important time in your life-you are on the verge of graduation. We invite you to take time and dive into our three-day leadership program that will make a difference for you now and in the future. You will leave understanding more about your community and the resources it has to support your success.
