LEADERSHIP + CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT Being Our Best Selves In The World. Everything you do at IJGA is meant to help you discover your power and your responsibility. IJGA alumni often say that their years at IJGA were the most formative of their lives. It could be the time, the place, or the friendships they made. For many, the answer is found in the wholeness of the experience – the knowledge and the goodness. CAPTAINS PROGRAM Leadership today for a better tomorrow. The IJGA Captains Program offers committed students a dynamic peer leadership opportunity. As role models on and off the course, IJGA Captains lead by example in all they do. Chosen through a highly selective process of application and interview, Captains are the first to volunteer to help student life team members, golf coaches and one another – in matters big and small. Leading initiatives in community program and service, Captains go out of their way to positively influence Academy life. They lead a student council, collecting feedback from their peers and, when necessary, creating solutions to make IJGA even better than it already is. Captains selflessly serve their community because giving back is innate to their character. While the position is voluntary, the benefits are forever. Not only do Captains gain the memorable experiences they do, but they also participate in a leadership development curriculum that helps each critically examine and improve their leadership skills. The Captains Program is all about leadership today for a better tomorrow. 44
