Presidential Leadership Partners

Our Presidential Leadership Partners initiative is bringing the Reagan Foundation to communities across America. We are creating lasting relationships with school districts, universities, and education organizations across the country.

Rather than offering a single program or experience, these partnerships connect communities with multiple Reagan Foundation opportunities in leadership, civic education, civil discourse, presidential decision-making, professional learning, and national student programs.

Every partnership is designed around the unique goals of your school, district, or organization. Let's create a leadership experience that serves your students and community.

This year, we partnered with Horry County Schools in South Carolina by integrating Reagan Foundation leadership experiences into classrooms through presidential decision-making simulations, debate, and leadership programming.

In Bentonville, Arkansas we collaborated with district leaders to expand access to Reagan Foundation civic education initiatives and connect students with leadership opportunities at the national level.

These partnerships demonstrate what we hope to build across America: meaningful, long-term relationships that give students opportunities to learn, practice, reflect, and ultimately apply what they have learned through leadership and service.

For educators, this game-based simulation challenges students to navigate the pressure, complexity, and consequences of leadership during a defining historical moment.

Students will step into the roles of President Reagan, the Secretary of Defense, and top military advisors—tasked with making real-time decisions during the 1983 crisis in Grenada.

For Any Classroom, Subject, and Schedule

Built with busy teachers in mind, this is not another unit to plan or lesson to prep. It’s a fully self-contained, interactive experience that runs in a single 50-minute class period. No extensive prep required, includes on-demand resources. Everything is structured for smooth, confident implementation across subjects, including social studies, language arts, civics, and more.

High School Experience

The Great American Leadership Program for High School Students is a transformative, hands-on experience designed to inspire and equip the next generation of leaders. Set against the stunning backdrop of Malibu, California, this immersive program invites students to develop leadership skills, explore American values, and walk in the footsteps of President Ronald Reagan.

Middle School Camp

This three-day program lays the foundation for principled leadership. Students will explore what it means to lead with integrity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to civic engagement. Held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, this program introduces students to the foundations of principled leadership through interactive workshops, guided tours, and hands-on leadership challenges.
