Kut Different Summer Leadership Academy

The Kut Different Summer Leadership Academy offers experiences that open participants’ minds and helps build future leaders.

We believe that exposure is one of the main missing components that motivate youth to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
During an 8-week program, we open the minds of young men in our community by affording them the opportunity to experience the world around them in a whole new way! We help guide them to learn how to use their talents for good, convert their passions into careers in the future, and assert authority over their own lives.

We use 3 focus areas to create a curriculum that helps sutdents gain new knowledge, skills, abilities, build confidence, and discover who they are.

Focus Areas:

• Education/Skill-Building
• Health & Wellness
• Exposure
