THE 7 SKILL SETS
“Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better.”

“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.” -Larry King

It isn’t only applicable in the case of a child following a parent or teacher’s instructions, but also in their adult life when landing that dream job or building a relationship with a friend.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
― Dr. Seuss
A leader’s role in society doesn’t solely consist of making plans and setting them into motion. More often, leaders consist of people who lead by inspiring their peers. In this skill set, your child(ren) will learn how to create inspiration among their friends and family, and volunteer within their community. If all of the activities are completed, this skill set is worth a total of 1,040 points.
“The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.”
― Tony Robbins
In our digital age, we’ve grown accustomed to immediacy. This has instilled in our communities a disdain for anything one must work toward. The Commitment Skill Set requires a child to choose their desired level of commitment, then complete the entire skill. There are three levels to choose from: 3, 6, and 9 month commitments. All the activities must be complete for the commitment level the child has chosen to receive any of the points. Only one commitment level can be chosen for the entire Klondike Leadership Academy year.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
People are born with a very narrow view of the world. This can be remedied with travel and exposure to varied and exotic places of course, but a more readily available way to expand one’s knowledge is through reading. For the Leaders Are Readers Skill Set, a child will be able to obtain a library card, explore the world of fiction and non-fiction, expand their vocabulary, and create and illustrate their own book. This skill set does not have a per-determined points limit, as the child can read as many books as he or she would like.
