For centuries, great leaders have emerged in the face of adversity, defined by a single, world-altering moment. These moments turn ordinary individuals into names woven into the tapestry of history; names passed down as examples of what we can be when we are at our best. Many of these names also have something in common: their place on the list of Medal of Honor recipients.

President Theodore Roosevelt, Iwo Jima hero Sergeant John Basilone, and Private Desmond Doss - whose harrowing story was portrayed in the film Hacksaw Ridge - are all among the names on this exclusive list, joining countless others in their sacrifice and heroism.

While many of these extraordinary individuals are no longer with us, lost in the line of service or to the sands of time, many others continue to shape our society to this day. For these individuals and for those who would like to learn from them, the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership has been established.

The Medal of Honor is the military's highest award that the U.S. government has the authority to bestow, granted to America’s greatest heroes throughout history. To honor this legacy of greatness, the National Medal of Honor Center has been providing sterling guidance to individuals of all ages ever since its inception.

The Center's mission is not only to honor those who fought for our country in the past but also to raise the next generation of leaders. To that effect, they have created a new youth training program designed to connect extraordinary individuals like you with actual Medal of Honor recipients.

The values promoted by the program are the same ones that Medal of Honor recipients are recognized for when they receive the award - sacrifice, integrity, commitment, courage, patriotism, and courage. By passing on these values through this program, the Center hopes to instill a sense of duty and honor in the next generation of leaders - leaders like you.

Throughout the new training program, you and your fellow participants will be exposed to real scenarios in which difficult decisions must be made. Using the values that the Center teaches as a guide, you will be given the opportunity to act through these situations, learning on the fly in a collaborative setting with instructors from a range of disciplines and backgrounds.

The rollout of the program will begin with an interactive seminar series, during which you will be able to speak directly with honorees in a panel setting. A wide range of activities and events are then planned to follow, including many in-person learning opportunities and several online classes for those who cannot physically attend.
