An Internship-Style Experience for Peer Leaders
The Leadership Lab
Explore Leadership Tracks
 Why We Created the Leadership Lab
The Leadership Lab was created for Peer Leaders who want to go beyond their core camp role and step into structured, meaningful responsibility.
While the Peer Leader role already builds confidence and leadership, service hours are meant to reflect contribution beyond standard expectations. The Leadership Lab provides that opportunity with clarity, structure, and purpose.
The Leadership Lab exists to:
- Bring integrity and intention to service hours
- Offer real responsibility, not filler tasks
- Provide hands-on experience in areas of interest
- Help girls explore future paths before they’re expected to have it all figured out
What’s Included
Through the Leadership Lab, she receives:
→ Up to 10 verified service hours
→ Certificate of completion
→ Letter of recommendation
→ Hands-on experience inside a real organization Â
How Service Hours Are Earned
Peer Leaders earn service hours by stepping into real behind-the-scenes leadership opportunities throughout the camp season.
These rotations allow them to experience different areas of responsibility while contributing in meaningful ways.
We believe leadership grows fastest when girls are invited behind the curtain.
Running a mission-driven organization is creative, collaborative, and yes, fun. The Leadership Lab gives girls the chance to experience that firsthand. They contribute ideas, help execute plans, and even test their own ideas in a supportive environment.
They do not just observe. They participate.

Important to Know
Leadership Lab hours are earned outside of standard Peer Leader responsibilities. Participation is optional, structured, and supervised.
Spots are intentionally limited to ensure strong mentorship and thoughtful oversight.
Specific dates and time blocks for earning hours will be shared in advance, and Peer Leaders may have the opportunity to earn hours across multiple areas depending on scheduling and program needs.
