The League of Creative Minds (LCM) was created to provide an entry way for high-ability middle school and high school students into public policy, international world affairs, leadership roles, public advocacy, diplomacy, investigative journalism, and the inner workings of governments, international organizations, and the United Nations. The tools we utilize to accomplish these goals are the year-round League classes where our approach creates deep conversations and powerful human connections. In addition to the regular League classes, we host intra-league debates, the LCM Field Study program and professional experts. Finally, LCM delegates attend national and international debate conferences, participate in UN Briefings or U.S. Commissions, and research in the field at the local, national, and international level.
