CALLING ALL EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS, BUSINESS OWNERS, & COMMUNITY MEMBERS!

Join us for Ohio IMPACT Day 2021 at OASL Summer Workshop!

July 13 & 20 | 9:00a - 12:00p | Capital University

What is Ohio IMPACT Day?

I.M.P.A.C.T. stands for: Inspire, Mentor, Partner, Advocate & Connect Together. Ohio IMPACT Day is a unique part of the OASL Summer Workshop program designed to connect OASL students with community leaders, educators, and organizational partners who support leadership education and development for students across Ohio. This half-day program involves a speed networking session, a camp-wide team-building activity, and a service project!

Why do we host Ohio IMPACT Day?

Ohio IMPACT Day benefits both community members and OASL students. For community members, the program is a perfect opportunity to connect with OASL, our directors and staff members, and of course, our students. We are proud of the difference our programs make in developing leadership knowledge and skills in students and the difference our students are making in the communities in which you work and live. Ohio IMPACT day is a chance for community members to participate in this important mission.

For OASL Students, Ohio IMPACT day helps them understand the important role that community members play in leadership and change-making.  Exposure to community members as mentors, role models, and partners in students’ leadership efforts is vital for student learning and development. Students also have the chance to practice the networking and relationship-building skills they are learning at Summer Workshop!

What students will be at Ohio IMPACT Day?

All students participating in OASL’s week-long Summer Workshop program will participate in Ohio IMPACT day. Students entering grades 7-12 from across Ohio attend Summer Workshop as participants.  OASL’s Summer Workshop staff members will also participate, all of whom are recent high school graduates and current college students.

About the OASL

The Ohio Association of Student Leaders is a statewide organization providing leadership education and development experiences for middle school and high school students. We began in 1953 as the Ohio Association of Student Councils, supporting student council organizations and advisors in secondary schools across the state. Over the years our programmatic reach has extended beyond the student council arena, toward providing relevant, effective, and meaningful co-curricular leadership programs for students, advisors, and coaches of all student organizations and athletic teams.

​Our Approach to Teaching and Developing Leadership

At OASL, we believe that leadership is a process between diverse individuals contributing their best to help a group, organization, or community thrive. If we want to make real change, we need to develop the leadership capacity in everyone, not just those with access to formal positions. OASL is an organization for anyone who wants to contribute to the leadership process and be an advocate and agent for change.​ ​Our experiential learning curriculum focuses on both personal and group development, including topics such as group dynamics, diversity and inclusion, self-esteem, authenticity, visioning and goal setting, organizational skills, collaboration, and community-building.
