The iBELIEVE in Student Leadership Fund was established to provide leadership, communication, and problem solving skills to Appalachian youth and young adults along with other in-need individuals so that they could become successful future leaders in their schools and most importantly their communities.

The iBELIEVE in Student Leadership Fund supports Appalachian youth in developing critical leadership, communication and problem solving skills. The Fund is currently focused on providing scholarship support to enable high school student participation in the Ohio Association of Student Councils (OASC) summer leadership camp. Participating in this camp can be life-changing and enables students to gain the necessary soft skills and leadership training critical to current and future success.

You can make an online donation through Network for Good, or mail a check to the Foundation at PO Box 456 | Nelsonville, Ohio 45764 and designate the iBELIEVE Fund. For just $250 dollars, you can send one student to the OASC summer leadership camp. Your support will enable students to gain a strong foundation of core leadership skills to implement in their schools, promoting and encouraging success and post-secondary pursuits.

The Fund is advised by the iBELIEVE Foundation Board of Directors
