The iBELIEVE in Student Leadership Fund was established to provide leadership, communication, and problem solving skills to Appalachian youth and young adults along with other in-need individuals so that they could become successful future leaders in their schools and most importantly their communities.

The iBELIEVE in Student Leadership Fund supports Appalachian youth in developing critical leadership, communication and problem solving skills. The Fund is currently focused on providing scholarship support to enable high school student participation in the Ohio Association of Student Councils (OASC) summer leadership camp. Participating in this camp can be life-changing and enables students to gain the necessary soft skills and leadership training critical to current and future success.
