Custom Programs or “Special Projects” are workshops and trainings designed by CASC for one specific organization or school. When a group comes to CASC with ideas for trainings they need or simply a description of their situation, CASC will custom design a program for them. We do not work solely with students and schools; we’ve designed leadership programs for professional organizations such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
High School
One type of Special Project is a Student Council (ASB) Retreat, which entails CASC coming for one or two days, usually during the summer or on a weekend, to teach a high school’s student council members leadership skills, such as the students at Tamalpais High School in the summer of 2009.
Middle School
Special Projects can also be carried out on a school-wide basis, where CASC will come and teach an entire school or grade, such as the eighth graders at Hillview Middle School, leadership skills that the principal or the advisor requests.
Other Organizations
Special Projects occur not only with schools, but with youth organizations, such as the National Jefferson Awards Program, and adult organizations, such as the American Society for Plastic Surgeons. Special Projects have even gone national and worked with the National Leadership Institute with Lake County students near Chicago, Illinois.
Special Projects offer a wide variety of curriculum that is specially designed for each Special Project in order to ensure that all desired outcomes are met. CASC Special Projects give students and adults alike the opportunity to grow into stronger and more effective leaders.
