Leadership is learned like a game

The Junior CEO Program helps middle-school members build confidence, creativity, digital literacy and financial awareness. Each module combines short videos, worksheets and small missions that can be completed at school or at home.

Completing a module earns XP and a badge, moving the member one step up the merit ladder. Progress is visible both here and on the member profile.
