Student Leaders
Driving Change by Creating Health That Lasts a Lifetime
Compassion, energy, a desire to make a positive impact — they are at the heart of every student who wants to help children born with cleft lip and cleft palate. While our approach to student engagement has evolved, the spirit of leadership remains as strong as ever.
