PART TWO: Leadership in Social Media: LOG OFF A Movement By Teens For Teens Artwork

gcLi Leadership Podcast

The Gardner Carney Leadership Institute's, (gcLi) mission makes clear that there is an inextricable connection between leadership and citizenship. We are committed to the idea that leadership must be cultivated. The healthy, effective, and benevolent functioning of classrooms, sports teams, schools, local communities, and entire nations depends upon it. Leadership is an active struggle, an exercise of character and values, a willingness to be in dialogue with diverse viewpoints, an ability to take risks and to engage wholeheartedly and uncomfortably with groups. To do it well, one must be willing to be in a lifelong journey to become more self-aware. In short, the path to leadership and thus to citizenship consists of all the skills and behaviors that the gcLi has taught since its inaugural Leadership Lab 2005. In my view, never has such training been more relevant. gcLi's Mission: Educating Teachers to Teach Leadership to Students.

PART TWO: Leadership in Social Media: LOG OFF A Movement By Teens For Teens

March 16, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 209

Part Two: How Students, parents and educators can help students with a project based leadership challenge to create something like LOG OFF or something students are passionate about. Learn about how the six "P's" can help you create a leadership program.

LOG OFF is a movement dedicated to rethinking social media by teens for teens. We interviewed LOG OFF's co-founder, Emma Lembke.

At LOG OFF, we are passionate about lowering social media's impact on mental health while teaching teenage users and their parents about how to navigate the vast inner -workings of life on social media. We wish to use an array of mediums, such as a podcast, this website, the blog, and the Character Ed program to further investigate how social media is affecting its adolescent users worldwide.

Although the movement began in Birmingham, Alabama, the founders of LOG OFF hope that the movement will continue to expand around the globe and assist in promoting healthy ways to exist on social media. The founders understand they are far from experts on the topic, but they hope to engage with teenagers in productive and impactful conversations to raise awareness for an issue they all believe needs to be solved.
