Ignite your leadership potential

Torch Leadership Academy (TORCH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that hosts a 4-day leadership program at Stockton University, free of cost for over 60 rising sophomore, junior, and senior high school students.

TORCH is run by a volunteer group of professionals and college students, many of whom have worked together for over 25 years. We provide advanced leadership seminars and service learning opportunities throughout the year for past participants.

We provide fun and engaging opportunities for students to explore their unique leadership potential, inspiring them to contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Your guidance, support, and encouragement played a vital role in helping me discover new aspects of myself and unlock my potential."

"I am immensely grateful for the bonds that were forged within our team. The sense of camaraderie and unity we developed was beyond anything I had experienced before.
