The Power of Possibility

The Power of Possibility is a dynamic leadership workshop designed for Servant Leader Interns (SLIs) in the CDF Freedom Schools program. Centered on the theme of unlocking potential and fostering innovation, this session equips interns with the mindset and tools to lead with purpose, creativity, and resilience for the upcoming summer

Rooted in the intergenerational leadership model of Freedom Schools, this workshop brings together SLIs—typically college students—who are preparing to guide and inspire young scholars. The session is structured to build on past experiences, encourage personal reflection, and set the stage for impactful site engagement, reinforcing the program’s commitment to academic enrichment, social action, and community building

Servant Leader Interns often face the challenge of managing their time and energy while maintaining high levels of engagement, collaboration, and leadership at their sites. The workshop addresses the need for practical strategies, renewed motivation, and a supportive culture that empowers interns to innovate and adapt, especially when faced with unexpected challenges or low-energy days

The Power of Possibility workshop offers a blend of personal storytelling, group reflection, and hands-on activities to inspire and prepare SLIs. Through icebreakers like the Possibility Map, reflective small group discussions, and leadership skits, interns explore lessons from the past, set bold goals for the future, and practice responding to real-world scenarios. The session culminates with personal commitments to innovation and self-care, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and excitement for the summer ahead. Feedback surveys ensure continuous improvement and alignment with intern needs.
