Programs

Learning
you can use.

Washington Consortium programs help young people practice the capabilities they'll need when there isn't an answer key.

No lectures about leadership. Practice at it.

Young people work through an unfinished problem, testing different paths and revising ideas when an approach doesn't work.

Program philosophy

Every program reinforces the same four capabilities.

Different rooms, different cities, different ideas — the framework underneath never changes.

Same framework. Different rooms.
