Welcome to the Children's Leadership Training Institute (CLTI)
CLTI is a vibrant and enriching initiative designed for children aged 3 to 12. As a parallel course to the Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI), CLTI provides a unique opportunity for children to engage in civic education alongside their parents, fostering a family-centric and multi-generation approach to community involvement and leadership.
Cultivating Young Civic Minds
A Parallel Learning Journey
CLTI mirrors the PLTI class format, offering a tailored curriculum that allows children to explore civic topics through carefully selected children's literature. This approach not only enhances their understanding of civic responsibilities but also nurtures a love for reading and learning.
Building a Family Legacy of Learning
In various PLTI sites, children have the opportunity to bring books home, creating a family library that grows with each session. Alternatively, some sites introduce children to the resources available at their local town or regional library, instilling lifelong library usage habits.
Celebrating Achievements Together
Children culminate their CLTI experience with a graduation ceremony, attended by family and friends, paralleling their parents' PLTI graduation. This shared milestone is a testament to the family's collective growth and commitment to civic engagement.
Embracing Diversity and Intelligence
Multiple Intelligences in Action
CLTI mirrors the PLTI class format, offering a tailored curriculum that allows children to explore civic topics through carefully selected children's literature. This approach not only enhances their understanding of civic responsibilities but also nurtures a love for reading and learning.

Shared Experiences, Shared Growth
CLTI is more than just an initiative—it's a shared experience that bridges the gap between parents and children. As they journey through the parallel learning journey together, they reinforce the belief that ideas and tools belong to the entire community.
By participating in CLTI, children embark on a journey of personal and civic growth, preparing them to become the thoughtful, engaged, and responsible leaders of tomorrow.
