Where leadership meets impact

We develop leaders in every sector of society through curricular and co-curricular programs that foster identity, relationships and skills to create thriving, life-giving communities.

Our values

At the Hargis Leadership Institute, we value cultivating leaders through the foundational pillars of identity, relationships and leadership skills. These pillars guide our programs and experiences, ensuring that every leader understands who they are, builds meaningful connections and develops the competencies needed to create positive change. We believe leadership is not just a role but a lifelong journey of growth and impact.
