The Difference

Why Bring Chad to Your Students?

Too many young people wait for “someday” to lead. Chad Mitchell shows them they don’t have to wait—they are leaders now.

Through stories, coaching, and hands-on experiences, Chad helps students:

See the power of their choices
Discover how peer influence can be used for good
Create ripples of impact that last long after the event

The Framework

How It Works

Every program is customized, but here’s the proven framework:

Virtual Kickoff (Zoom)

Chad sets the stage, sparking curiosity and helping students identify issues or opportunities they care about.

On-Site Intensives

A 2–3 session series of in-person workshops, blending Leadership Labs (practical skills—integrity, teamwork, listening under pressure), Project Coaching (teams design initiatives or messages for their peers), and Mentor Moments (Q&A and encouragement).

Culminating Student Presentation

The students lead a showcase: assembly, community event, or campaign. Chad coaches them to shine.

Sustained Impact

Momentum continues with virtual check-ins, an “Impact Crew” of students + adult allies, resources & reflection tools, and book bundles of Change Your Game.

The Fit

Who It’s For

Middle and high schools
Youth conferences and camps
Faith-based groups
Community clubs & nonprofits

Why It Works

Peer leadership first. Teens listen to teens.
Hope + agency. Students realize small actions spark big ripples.
Practical + inspiring. They leave with stories and tools to use the same day.
