ORGANIZED FOR LIFE

Are you a girl who…

Is a leader with special talents, skills and interests? Takes advantage of opportunities? Shows character in her commitments? Wants to be the best that she can be? Lives in the Dallas metropolitan area? If so, you would be a great candidate for a LKB Academy. The Leslie K Bedford Memorial Foundation believes in you: your potential, your values, your desire to learn, and your accomplishments.

Our programs are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). They are designed to develop and maximize leadership skills, which will in turn lead to higher academic achievement over time. LKB completed a preliminary study on how participation in the LKB program positively affects the girls, their families and their academic performance:

With regard to leadership, the girls told researchers they learned:

• leadership styles, roles, and positions.
• better decision making skills.
• better verbal and written communication.
• and had better self-esteem.
