Teen CEO Youth Leadership Development in Texas is a nonprofit that equips teens with leadership, communication, and self-leadership skills.
Founded by distinguished toastmaster Karen Coleman, we focus on building the business of self, blending social-emotional learning, real-world practice, and mentorship.
Interactive group experiences where teens practice communication, teamwork, and decision-making in real time.
Ongoing guidance that strengthens mindset, self-leadership, and goal-setting for long-term growth.
Targeted practice that turns nerves into confidence for speeches, pitches, and interviews.
The L.E.A.D. Forward™ Method is a personalized coaching journey designed to help teens discover their strengths, grow their confidence, and lead with purpose. This method is perfect for students who want to build strong communication skills, overcome self-doubt, and take charge of their future.
We believe in identifying each student's unique strengths and tailoring our approach to meet their individual needs.
Learn Who You Are: Develop self-awareness and explore your unique strengths and values.
Empower Your Voice: Master the art of communication, public speaking, and self-expression.
Act with Intention: Build leadership habits, set meaningful goals, and manage time effectively.
Do What Leaders Do: Make smart decisions, serve others, and live with purpose and integrity.
Karen Coleman’s experience overcoming communication challenges now inspires teens to grow in confidence, leadership, and self-belief through meaningful guidance and real-world practice.
Schools, churches, and youth groups partner with us for structured leadership growth.
Teens leave with clear values, vision, and real leadership experience.
