The Grant Legacy Leadership Program: (Celebrating Skip Grant), (Who is Skip Grant): Created by executive leadership coach and board member Lynn Blades, BA, PCC, MGSCC, the Grant Legacy Leadership Program is a 9-module enrichment program designed to help young leaders discover and foster their own personal strengths before going on to higher education or the workplace, all while teaching them how to better build equity and leadership both at work and in their global community. Cohorts are advanced students and young people interested in developing personal, leadership and life skills. The modules stimulate conscious self-discovery through the lens of real world circumstance. Successfully piloted at the prestigious St. Albans School in 2022, the program will grow to be implemented in schools, classrooms or community spaces throughout the year, providing a natural compliment to the future annual forum.

 
Eyes Wide Opened You.nique: In February 2020, Major Minor partnered with Columbia University's non-profit Double Discovery Center to implement Eyes Wide Opened You.nique, an enrichment program anchored in developing students' six signature strengths to improve learning and personal growth. This differentiated learning platform requires teachers to honestly engage with their students as individuals with varying interests, learning styles and academic and personal needs to help them better know themselves—and thus better find their place in society. The 12-module program was attended by freshman and sophomore students from various local New York City public schools, including A. Philip Randolph, Frederick Douglas Academy, Global Learning Collaborative, and Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics.
