Chick-fil-A Leader Academy
The Vision
What does reimagining high school leadership look like?
High school students want an outlet to learn and lead. Most programs using speakers, seminars, or books offer short-term motivation, but long-term frustration without an outlet for action. Chick-fil-A Leader Academy engages students in monthly Leader Labs where they learn important leadership skills they'll ultimately use to create student-led Community Impact Projects.
The Application
Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is a fresh approach to leadership development and empowers young people to truly make a difference.
Whiteboard engaged Chick-fil-A Leader Academy in a project to plan, design, develop, and deploy a web application to support the in-classroom and out-of-classroom experiences for Chick-fil-A Leader Academy. The application serves as the central hub of content distribution and communication between the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy administrative team and the volunteer teachers and students at participating schools.
As of 2017, Chick-fil-A Leader Academy serves over 600 schools and has 40,000 users on the platform. As the program is growing by the year, Whiteboard continues working on strategies and implementing features to maximize how user experience and technology is implemented on behalf of Chick-fil-A Leader Academy as they scale.
