About the VALUE Core Leadership Training
The VALUE Core Leadership Training provides learners, practitioners, and programs with what they need to know to have meaningful student involvement in programs.

Learners strengthen their abilities in areas such as critical thinking, organizational skills, time management, and other related leadership skills.
