Can 6-9 Year Olds Lead?

Nina Lewis, who helped KidLead pilot the very first LeadYoung Training Module for preteens, is launching Lead1st curriculum for 6-9 year olds.  Nina set up 4 leadership training sessions for Kersey Elementary School, a town ravaged by the recent 1000-year floods in Colorado.  Since the events were fresh in the minds of the kids, it's no wonder that during one of the activities, the children created statues to commemorate issues related to helping people.

But what Nina and the other parents didn't expect, was the example of servant leading that came next.  During the debrief time, the children began suggesting that they make blankets for the families of two of their friends who lost everything, including their homes.  On their own initiative, they set another meeting just to make two blankets, to let the families stay warm and also know that they weren't alone, wrapped in the love of their neighbors and community.  You can lose your home, but you don't need to lose hope. One by one, KidLead is changing communities, as witnessed by this proof in Kersey, Colorado (USA).
