For years Clay Student Leadership Program has been active in schools throughout Texas through the utilization of assembly events. While effective in disseminating character- and motivation-centered resources, long-term exposure to students is something that Clay Student Leadership has sought for years. Abel Lopez and Clay Student Leadership have been given the opportunity to launch a new initiative in the Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District. During the 2009-2010 school year, the school district has contracted with Clay Student Leadership to provide leadership training to 460 students and their parents for 27 weeks. During these weeks, Abel Lopez and his team will be teaching leadership principles, leading parent seminars, and providing team building activities. This program is the first of its kind and has the potential to impact the lives of hundreds of families in the community.
