The purpose of the Leadership Fellows Program is to enable upper level undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and LEAD alumni at Tech to serve as leadership coaches for Georgia Tech students. LEAD Fellows are professionally trained in leadership coaching and receive recognition for their service. Faculty, staff and LEAD alumni serve on a volunteer basis and typically take one-two Coachees per semester. Students are paid a stipend and typically take two-four Coachees per semester. As a leadership coach, you will be expected to give one to two hours per week to the coaching program. 

Fellows sharpen and enhance their existing leadership and coaching skills by assisting in the development of GT students who are also eager to improve their leadership abilities. Fellows also have the opportunity to learn from their peers at monthly training sessions and other learning opportunities within the program. In this environment Fellows are able to actively reflect on their own previous leadership experiences and identify areas of improvement within themselves while developing others. The reason for becoming a LEAD Fellow is quite simple: Develop yourself while developing others.

Fellows are trained at the beginning of the fall semester, and conclude their time at the end of the following spring semester. Program participation is renewable ,on a volunteer basis each year. Fellowships are awarded based on each candidate's individual leadership, civic engagement, and professional merits.
