OASL has been offering summer leadership workshops since 1953. Our 5-day workshops include a balance of hands-on activities and discussions along with personal growth and reflection opportunities. Students continue to rave about many of our workshop hallmarks: small council groups, team-building activities, and large group sessions. Our Ohio IMPACT session allows students to network and connect with local leaders, provides service learning opportunities, and empowers students to form meaningful connections with one other.
We offer two Program Levels
Middle Level (ML) workshop is for students entering grades 7-9 in the fall.
Senior High (SH) workshop is for students entering grades 10-12 in the fall.
Please note: We offer 3 levels of programming within both the ML and SH workshops. Your program level is determined by the number of times you have previously attended our workshops.

Many educators send their newly elected student leaders to OASL Summer Leadership Workshop to give them a chance to create connections with one another and prepare for the upcoming year. This is a great opportunity for students to network with other student leaders from across Ohio to gather new ideas and hit the ground running. Even if students are not in an elected leadership position, they still gain confidence and valuable skills that will make them an asset to your school and organization.
