With record numbers of children dropping out of school, running away from, home, be placed outside of the home, and “aging out” of State custody iLead seeks to fill the gap in revealing the leader in each of these children by developing their personal vision,
uncovering their strengths, revealing resources for their achievement, implement communication skills, and giving them the tools and techniques for lifelong success. iLead is not another “positive thinking" program for “troubled youth” it is a life toolbox for young people.

Leadership & Life Success for Youth
iLead was developed by Sidney Gaskins, a former social worker turned
adoptive parent with a passion for children and families. With 15 plus years
of work with children, families, and communities Sidney has taken the
principles of success and achievement, usually reserved for adults, and
crafted them into an effective, highly interactive, and motivational program
for youth. With record numbers of children dropping out of school, running
away from, home, be placed outside of the home, and “aging out” of State
custody iLead seeks to fill the gap in revealing the leader in each of these
children by developing their personal vision, uncovering their strengths,
revealing resources for their achievement, implement communication skills,
and giving them the tools and techniques for lifelong success. iLead is not
another “positive thinking program” for “troubled youth” it is a life toolbox
for young people.
