Program Overview
The Solomon Leadership Program is dedicated to inspiring and developing the next generation of impactful leaders. Through our unique framework, we equip teens, called fellows within the program, with the tools, knowledge, and character to lead with purpose and integrity.
Our program stands out through its in-depth, values-focused curriculum, which explores core values such as courage, responsibility, and empathy. Each session features insights from local leaders, offering real-world perspectives and inspiring fellows with their experiences. Additionally, formal mentoring provides personalized guidance, allowing the fellows to connect deeply with seasoned mentors who guide them as they navigate their leadership journey. Fellows who complete the Solomon Program earn three college credits through our partnership with Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Through Solomon, fellows don’t just learn about leadership—they embody it, emerging as individuals ready to make a positive and lasting impact.
Curriculum
The Solomon Fellow’s leadership journey begins by completing a learning module in the Solomon textbook. Each module delves deeply into one of the Eight Pillars of Leadership, using a dynamic curated collection of stories and multimedia resources to illustrate the concepts. Through completing the module, fellows develop their academic foundation in the pillar and are prepared to engage with next-level discussions and insights at the session.

JudgmentGuest Speakers
At the in-person session, a distinguished local leader joins as the guest speaker, candidly discussing their leadership experiences and insights through the lens of the Eight Pillars of Leadership. Speakers represent a diverse spectrum of roles and industries, ensuring a broad perspective on leadership. The presentation is followed by a lengthy Q&A, allowing fellows the opportunity to truly understand how leaders use their positions to make a difference.
Our Mentors
Following the guest speaker’s presentation, fellows spend time in small groups with their mentors, discussing the practical application of the Eight Pillars in their own leadership. Each Solomon chapter facilitates robust mentoring by community leaders, who guide and inspire the students throughout their leadership journeys. Our mentors are the key to the Solomon Leadership Program’s success.
