Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes

Northside is a participating congregation in the national Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes program. Local Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes programs operate autonomously under the leadership of the local congregation. The annual National Convention functions under the oversight of the national office.

Lads to Leaders was founded in 1968 in Montgomery, Alabama, by Brother Jack Zorn. The original class of 9 has grown to an annual involvement of thousands of students across the United States.

The goal of Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes is to provide leadership training, equipping young people to be leaders in their schools, in their community, in the country, and especially in the church. An Abilene Christian University survey found that only half of the youths in Churches of Christ remain faithful after high school graduation! Good news: Congregations with Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes have a 92 - 100% youth retention rate!

Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes has a proven methodology for developing young people into leaders. Programs include peer leadership training, mentoring programs, annual leadership camps, national workshops, college scholarships, special awards and honors, a national leadership team, and the annual convention. Each program is well documented, providing comprehensive written guidance and quantitative progress measurement tools to both mentors and students.
