GMU Strengths Lab

The GMU Strengths Lab represents the inaugural cohort of Student Strengths Coaches at George Mason University. This initiative partners university leaders with our foundation to accelerate early leadership growth.

By identifying and developing the innate talents of students, the lab creates an ecosystem of peer-to-peer coaching. These student coaches leverage their natural relationship-building skills to empower their classmates, preparing everyone for successful careers.
