Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) is a national network of high school students and MBA professionals who focus on mentoring and student empowerment. The Leaders of Tomorrow Program affords high school students an opportunity to participate in a variety of enrichment activities, workshops, and events that are designed to emphasize growth in the areas of leadership, academics, professional development, community service, securing internships and scholarships, and goal setting and attainment.

The mission of LOT-New Jersey is to serve as mentors and resources to minority high school students, improve academic and leadership skills, and increase their ability to enter college. LOT concentrates on developing the targeted students that are inner city high school youth with a grade point average between C and C+.

The program was first implemented in New Jersey in 1997. Metro area high school students, known as "Leaders", have the opportunity to interact with outstanding business professionals from the New Jersey area and all over the world. Mentors guide the students through a challenging program designed to help them develop the skills and attitudes necessary for success. Leaders participate in a variety of activities, workshops, and events that emphasize growth in the following areas:
· Leadership
· Academics
· Professional Development
· Community Service
· Securing Internships & Scholarships
· Goal Setting and Attainment

NBMBAA Annual Conference
----------------------------------------
Select Leaders will receive subsidized expenses for a trip to the National Black MBA National Training Conference, the largest annual gathering of black business professionals in the world. These Leaders will attend workshops with students from across the country. The workshops will expose them to careers in business and entrepreneurship.

Scholarships/ Internships
--------------------------------------
The pursuit of a college degree is an expensive venture. However, there are numerous funding sources available in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and grants. LOT's goal is for each Leader to attend college on a full or partial scholarship with an internship that relates to their chosen course of study. We will help you!
