The Kenan Trust invests in programs aimed at building leadership acumen among college and university students. In adopting this focus area, the Trust recognizes the importance of intentional programming aimed at helping students gain leadership skills, self-awareness, and adaptability.
Leadership Development for Students on College and University Campuses
Higher Education is intentionally designed to challenge students’ perceptions and introduce new ways of approaching problems or ideas, both of which are key components of developing leadership skills. The Trust funds programs on college and university campuses that directly teach students leadership skills while also incorporating experiential learning opportunities for students to utilize their skills in real-world scenarios.
