About Werklund Foundation's Empowering Minds™

Since 2006, the Werklund Foundation has been offering world-class leadership training that empowers students with the confidence, motivation and resilience necessary to lead in life.

Driven by the belief that every person is born with the ability to lead, the Werklund Foundation launched Empowering Minds™ leadership programs in 2006. The ongoing response to the program highlighted the simple truth – that Empowering Minds™ training was penetrating the core of many social issues, giving students the confidence to lead and better preparing them to combat today's most difficult developmental issues, including bullying and peer pressure. To date, the Werklund Foundation's Empowering Minds programs have provided over 2,500 students with world-class leadership experiences.
