Program areas at Usher's New Look

Leadership academy - this four-year program exposes high school students to the tools and skill sets needed to achieve success after high school, while helping them identify careers that align with their spark passion. This curriculum is designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience each of unl's four pillars: talent, education, career and service. Students are given the tools to navigate the college financial aid process and are provided with key opportunities to develop themselves academically while honing their leadership skills and serving their communities nationally. One hundred percent of our students graduate from high school, are prepared for higher learning, and can compete for jobs in a global, information-based economy with 21st century leadership skills.
Powered by service - the peer to peer workshop spans six hours and provides participants with engaging activities allowing them to discover core tenets of ushers New Look. During the 6-hour, in-school, powered by service workshop, led by current and former unl academy leaders and moguls in training, students explore their individual sparks (i.e., talents, passions), articulate their personal brand (i.e., how they wish to be viewed by others); analyze the traits of well-known leaders; explore the root causes of local issues of concern to them (e.g., homelessness, bullying, substance abuse); explore principles and knowledge of financial literacy; and make a personal commitment to create and execute powered by service projects.
Moguls in training - college and higher learning are major keys to securing success in today's competitive economy, so unl is working to ensure all college students from under-resourced backgrounds have the tools and support they need to finish school and begin their careers. Students meet virtually every month to discuss higher learning challenges and receive strategic resources. Sessions foster personal development, productive college matriculation, and transitioning into adulthood. Students also receive assistance from unl partners while seeking and securing internships. Maintaining the peer-to-peer model, the monthly sessions are led by a unl coordinator and industry experts who've developed unique, dynamic learning models which ensure success before, during, and after college.
New Look clubs - this is an expansion of our leadership academy, making the programming, resources, and opportunities of ushers New Look available to high school youth across the country. Youth will have access to on-demand virtual sessions and follow-up activities that will help them develop leadership skills, take actionable steps towards their futures, embrace the power of being in service to their communities, and become a part of a larger community of disruptivators.
