What is the purpose of the
Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders?
The Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders seeks to engage,
equip, and empower a new generation of leaders in
Hawaii to influence our State for the highest good. Graduates continue as lifetime Fellows of the Center, further
developing together in service to humanity.
What is the Fellows program?
The CTL Fellows program is a year-long, transformative
experience for 20 select juniors and seniors from diverse
public and private high schools. The program launches in
August and culminates with a special graduation ceremony. The signature retreat is Leadership Academy between
Christmas and New Year. In the spring, the Fellows -in
small teams- will design and execute a high-level leadership project in a selected area.

Testimonies
Ke Chen, CTL ‘05
La Pietra School
CTL assisted me in getting the soft skills necessary to
land a job at Microsoft. I learned how to ask precise
questions, how to follow-up on issues raised, and how
to think and act like a leader. I still greatly treasure
the experience today.
Nate Yang, CTL ‘07
Iolani School
Participating in CTL is one of the most worthwhile
decisions I have ever made. Going beyond developing
my confidence, CTL taught me the public speaking
skills and poise to complement it. The knowledge I
gained from CTL will be invaluable as I pursure my
JD/LLM at Duke University.

Next Generation of Leaders”
Alison Kadesch, CTL ‘04
Moanalua High School
After graduating from CTL and Moanalua High
School in 2004, I spent the next four years studying
at Yale University. My CTL experiences continue to
resonate with me even today. Getting to know such a
talented group of peers and local leaders was a powerful experiences during my high school years.
Kainoa Castillo, CTL ‘11
McKinley High School
The Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders has had a
profound impact on my life. During the nine month

and my political aspirations
