Student Leadership Program (SLP)

The Student Leadership Program (SLP) is a dynamic community initiative developed by Gulfstream Aerospace and proudly supported by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS). SLP equips high school students with essential skills to navigate opportunities beyond the traditional classroom setting. Through career and industry tours, interactive leadership workshops, and community service experiences, students gain valuable insights to prepare for future success in the local and global workforce.
