Using years of experience with my own homeschool highschoolers and their use of the ideas, tips, and resources included in this guide, I developed this guide to help you explore resources and opportunities available to your child to help them make the most of their high school years  and experience.

This Homeschool Guide to Develop Leadership Skills in High School starts with some recommended book titles that cover everything from dealing with challenging situations and people to changing personal perspective to equip them to “deal with life and feelings” in personal and work relationships and “winning with people”.

They are very practical in their descriptions of every day life situations and scenarios and give great advice in how to “think” and “act” in certain situations.

There are also suggested resources with descriptions and links of various experiential opportunities available to your child to obtain hands-on personal and leadership development, knowledge and skill in areas that may interest them.

Everything from unpaid and volunteer to paid internship and work experience suggestions to hands-on development and training in “real life” career situations with “leaders and mentors” in that field.

These experiences not only allow your child to gain skill and knowledge and develop leadership traits, but expose them to contacts for future possibilities for reference and recommendations or possible careers in those areas.

They also have award and scholarship opportunities for a large number of these organizations shared in this Homeschool Guide to Develop Leadership Skills in High School.

Lastly, there are printable pages to use as Activity Record Logs to keep track of the names of the activities, descriptions, leader or mentor contact information, any awards and leadership positions, and participation hours.

This information is extremely useful when completing job applications, resumes, college applications, and award and scholarship applications.

The contact information on these logs is also useful for future job references and college recommendations. Even scholarship and award applications request contact information for references.

This Homeschool Guide to Develop Leadership Skills in High School will prove very useful to you and your child while making the most of your homeschool high school years together.
