Exclusive Tracks &
Leadership Roles

APEX

In year two, you’ve already been to APEX at least once. You’ve also plugged into your team and into the Unbound student community. In year one, you watched the bar be set; now you will begin to set it yourself for those coming after. 

Yes, you’re still facing challenges — and this whole journey has been a lot tougher than you might have anticipated. But now that you’ve started, you can’t dream of quitting — and as you start year two, you’re ready to help support a new round of incoming year one students, casting vision and passing on the Unbound culture of character, courage, and community. 

BASECAMP

Year two students are back at Basecamp, but this time the event has expanded. While you’ll share keynotes with Foundation students, you’ll also attend a private track designed specifically for Challenge students. 

It’s time to wrestle with what resilience means when applied to every area of life – body, mind, heart, and soul. And with the benefit of a full year under your belt, you’re ready to apply these ideas at a whole new level.

CAPSTONE

As you come to the end of your second year in Ascend, you see leadership in a whole new light. Not only did you complete your Signature Leadership Certification, but you’ve also applied those principles to your projects and perhaps even led a team yourself. With some solid experience behind you, you see things a little differently here, too. 

Capstone is about deeply engaging with leadership principles, and year two students have a wealth of new questions and experiences to apply these principles to. You may also be asked to lead a Capstone team during the week. You’ll benefit from having older leaders there live to ask personal questions, and you will attend a separate Challenge track on the humility, growth, and inner life of a leader.
