The Institute for Civic Leadership

Kirk Spahn, President of the The Institute for Civic Leadership, presides over the opening bell The ICL's unique youth leadership training program is based around the Mantra of: INSPIRE - EDUCATE - TAKE ACTION

The Institute for Civic Leadership's mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of civic leaders to take action locally and globally to improve their communities. The ICL dares students and teachers to dream, while giving them the courage to take risks and the tools to put knowledge into action. We want young people to take public service and the democratic process seriously, to become more knowledgeable about current events and world affairs, to think critically about the effect of the media in their lives, and to make a difference in the world while they make a difference in themselves
