About the Teen Leadership Program

Prevent Blindness of Georgia’s Teen Leadership Program is a hands-on, year long initiative that empowers 9th – 12th grade students to develop leadership skills while supporting our mission to preserve sight and prevent blindness. Teens participate in eye health education, community outreach, fundraising efforts, and peer-to-peer advocacy.

By the end of the program, students emerge as changemakers – equipped with public speaking experience, service hours, and a deeper understanding of health equity.

Build Skills. Serve Your Community. Make an Impact.
