TCI PARTNER SCHOOLS
Turn Community Participation Into Leadership Development
Partner with The Character Institute and turn participation in eligible TCI programs into Leadership Credit for your students, athletes, coaches, and school community.
10% LEADERSHIP CREDIT • NO CASH FUNDRAISING • SCHOOL-CONTROLLED REINVESTMENT
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON BUDGET ALONE.
Schools want to invest in students, athletes, captains, coaches, and emerging leaders.
But budgets are limited. Priorities compete. And leadership development is often one of the first things pushed aside.
TCI Partner Schools create another path.
When members of your school community participate in eligible TCI programs, 10% of qualifying collected revenue becomes Leadership Credit for your school.
Your school can then reinvest that credit where it can make the greatest impact.
More access. More development. More opportunities to invest in people.
HOW THE LEADERSHIP CYCLE WORKS
WHERE CAN LEADERSHIP CREDIT GO?
Your school decides where its earned Leadership Credit can create the most impact.
Student & Athlete Access
Provide access to eligible TCI development programs.
Captains & Emerging Leaders
Invest in students stepping into greater responsibility.
Leading From Within
Support deeper leadership and personal-development experiences for athletes and students.
Coach Development
Give coaches additional tools and resources to develop the people they lead.
School & Team Experiences
Apply credit toward approved TCI leadership programming and future experiences.
If your school had $1,000 in Leadership Credit today, where would you invest it?
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A TCI PARTNER SCHOOL?
Very little.
TCI Partner Schools provide reasonable support for the partnership in ways that make sense for their school.
That may include:
Sharing TCI opportunities with students, athletes, families, or coaches
Using approved links, QR codes, or school communication channels
Identifying an administrator to oversee Leadership Credit
Allowing TCI to publicly recognize the school as a TCI Partner School
No enrollment fee. No sales quota. No required purchase. Just a shared commitment to invest in people.
