The S.E.A. Leader Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Service and Supporting Youth Empowerment

The S.E.A. Leader Awards are an annual celebration that honors individuals, small businesses, and organizations that excel in customer experience, service excellence, and leadership within their industries. This prestigious event not only recognizes those who set the standard for service but also supports the next generation of leaders through our partnership with TeenWorks, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth in our community.

About the Awards:

At S.E.A. Leaders Training Institute., we believe that true excellence in service extends beyond exceptional customer interactions—it’s about leadership, accountability, and making a lasting impact on people’s lives. The S.E.A. Leader Awards celebrate those who embody these values, and this year, we are proud to highlight our collaboration with TeenWorks, a nonprofit organization that provides Indianapolis youth with career-building opportunities, professional development, and support to achieve their academic and personal goals.

Supporting TeenWorks:

As part of the S.E.A. Leader Awards, we are raising funds to support TeenWorks and its mission to empower teens to achieve success in college, career, and community.

Your attendance and support at the S.E.A.
