We're On A Mission To Record
1,000 Community Projects!

How Will We Do This?
One ACTION At A Time. Your Next Project Counts!
Would You Rather Watch Us... Or JOIN Us?

Join our community of National Leadership Team members who are enhancing their lives and furthering their leadership education through community activism, environmental self-defense, peace education and personal development.  Track your progress, complete the leadership training section, create your own Leadership Project Portfolio to gain credibility and experience as a leader, and share your projects and your success with others.

WHY 1000 PROJECTS?
1000 is a starting point for making a statement. 1000 is something that we as a team can be proud of. 1000 gives us the credibility and social proof that we are people of ACTION and are truly making a difference. With 1000 projects recorded, you will have done your part and built your own PROJECT PORTFOLIO (of 5-10 projects) that is worthy of recognition. When the team hits 1000 projects, the members of the NLT will have learned something very REAL about LEADERSHIP. When the NLT hits 1000 projects, we will reset our goals higher and continue on our Journey.

The Power Of Being On A Team of Winners
With a team, you'll be able to leverage the experience of those who have come before you. You'll be able to meet friends and inspirational 'heroes' and role models in the NLT community that you can follow. With a team, you'll have access to a group of like minded individuals on the same mission as you: TO BUILD SOMETHING MEMORABLE AND WORTHWHILE WHILE LEARNING REAL LEADERSHIP. 

As a member of the NLT, your PBLT training will require you to conceive of, plan, and LEAD a community service project (or several) of your choosing to demonstrate character, leadership ability, and commitment to community. You will be completing proven Leadership Lessons to learn character traits of real leaders all while building your own Project Portfolio which you can use for a lifetime of success. This is the #1 way to learn real leadership, through experience and real action. Leaders are never born, they are created through overcoming adversity, having positive experiences, and plenty of real practice in a leadership role.

So Exercise Your Leadership Muscles,
Build Your Project Portfolio
and join the NLT today!

Philosophy and Action:
The Foundation of the National Leadership Team

"If A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words,
Than An Action Is Worth A Thousand Pictures."

~ Grand Master Jhoon Rhee
World Renowned 10th Degree Black Belt

The National Leadership Team uses an online Project Based Leadership Training website that allows you to track your completed projects and create an impressive Project Portfolio that you can use for the rest of your life. It’s easy to use, easy to navigate, fast and simple. But don’t let its simplicity deceive you; underneath the gleam, it’s got some powerful features and is extremely productive in developing leaders through Project Based Leadership Training.

        Our Philosophy

The NLT is still pretty new, but our experience has proven a few things:

bullet Project Based Leadership Training Is Without A Doubt The Best Method For Creating Leaders Because It Creates Opportunities For Powerful Experiences And Challenges That Will Help The Participant Practice Real Leadership.
 
bullet People, in general, are good, and they possess a power within to overcome  adversity and achieve their goals in life. Some people call this power courage, some call it initiative, some even call this power self reliance.
 
bullet PBLT can be practiced at any age and is extremely versatile for many different project types and interests. (Environmental Self Defense, Animals, World Awareness...etc)
 
bullet Leadership Is Learned Through Your Experiences.
Powerful Experiences Create Leaders. Period.
 
bullet We've found the NLT System to be an amazing system for helping youth unlock their inner potential to achieve great things in their lives through taking ACTION, building upon past success, and taking many leadership roles.
 
bullet Persistence And Push ('Never Quit' Attitude) Are Necessary For Your Success and can be practiced through completing and recording community action projects and creating a project portfolio.
 
bullet We believe that the NLT can help children and adults connect positive thoughts with positive actions effectively teaching them how to achieve great things and become very successful later on in life.
 
bullet Though The National Leadership Team Was Started By Martial Artists, It Is A Readily Available System For Any Group Or Team To Participate And Learn Real Leadership.
 
bullet Creating A Project Portfolio and Completing The Leadership Training With The NLT Can Not Only Help You Learn REAL Leadership Skills, But It Will Assist You In Getting Into A Great Secondary School (College),  Get That Highly Competitive Job Opportunity That You've Been Working Towards,  And Create A Lifetime Of Success And Happiness Through Positive Action And Activism.

Every project, challenge, and word on this site was written with these principles and experiences in mind. If all of that sounds good to you then maybe you can help us out with our mission and build your own Project Portfolio while learning real leadership in the process!

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful impact you've had in Walker's life... He looks up to you [and the others in the NLT] with great respect and works hard on the leadership program goals you've established together. Thanks again and keep up your great work.

"Clara's experience with the Leadership Quest Program has been very positive. Although we can see some very positive changes in many ways, there was one incident that spoke volumes to us; we had spoken to Clara's current teacher during open house and she was telling us how much Clara participates in class and raises her hand all the time. Until she set that goal, every teacher prior had told us how quiet and reserved she was!"

- Tami Schroeder
(Clara's Mother)

 "...Its been amazing to watch our youngest daughter transform from a shy 5 year-old to a confident 9 year old. She has experienced the satisfaction that comes with overcoming one's fears to achieve your goals.
     We have also witnessed a remarkable level of focus and determination in our older daughter. She has become goal oriented and has worked very hard for her multiple achievements...
     We are very pleased with the [NLT] Leadership Program. Not only does Mr. Engels teach the skills needed to advance in martial arts, through this website and this program, he is helping to mold our children into responsible citizens. His leadership program focuses on the development of positive character traits through lessons involving goal-setting and community service projects... The Leadership Program comes highly recommended by all members of the Raykovich family!"
