2026 Theme: SPARK

The TASC Summer Leadership Workshop is a catalyst for transformative change. Leadership is about more than a single moment of action; it is about uniting with others to take a stand, championing a cause, and empowering peers to create a lasting impact. By answering the call to serve, we become a collective force capable of shaping our schools and communities today and in the future.

To achieve this, our directors and consultants embody the SPARK values, ensuring every student is equipped to lead with purpose and vision.

The Foundation of Success

TASC provides high-quality and significant value summer leadership workshops to student councils across Texas. The success of these programs depends on the dedicated adults who give their time and talents each summer. While their roles differ, the synergy between the Director and the Consultant is vital. Together, they bridge the gap between inspiration and action, ensuring every student leaves the workshop permanently transformed and ready to lead. Reach out to the Director of the workshop you are attending if you want to offer to be on staff for their workshop to help the team!

Student council advisors with the skills, interest, and time to serve in this capacity are encouraged to participate in the training program. TASC is interested in developing adult leaders who are willing to commit to student leadership instruction through TASC.

• The TASC workshop experience establishes A POWERFUL STUDENT VOICE
  Student leaders want to contribute, be involved, and improve. Some are natural leaders, but for most students, leadership is acquired through instruction and experiences. A desire to serve is the common denominator. Students come together to understand the passion that calls them and to cultivate their leadership voice.
• The TASC workshop experience creates A CIRCLE OF ADVISORS DEDICATED TO STUDENT LEADERS
  Join teachers fulfilled by helping students achieve their potential and Student Councils find a voice. Experience the TASC advisor network to receive training and guidance. Exceed the basic standard of student council operation in your school.
• The TASC workshop experience connects PROVIDERS OF LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS
  Discover the road map for student council success through in-depth training and experiential learning activities. Student council experts deliver relevant world-class curricula and resources. Please note that some workshops are limited in the number of people who can attend. Registration is online. Cancellations and refunds will be permitted until one month prior to the start date of a particular event or workshop and must be made in writing to the TASC office ([email protected] and [email protected]). When applicable, the refund amount will be applied to the balance due. Each time a cancellation is made, there will be a transaction fee (⅓ of the registration fee) assessed per individual cancellation. No refunds or credits will be given for cancellations made less than one month prior to the start date of an event/workshop. Refunds will not be provided for event/workshop no-shows, regardless of the situation. You may register for the number you are sure of and add students later for no additional fee if there is room. The invoices will be separate, and we are unable to combine them for you. 
• Registration for an onsite summer leadership workshop includes room (dorm), meals, supplies, and training. No refunds or credits will be given for cancellations after the deadline (one month before the first day of the workshop.) Refunds will not be provided for workshop no-shows, regardless of the situation. There is one day during which attendees have the afternoon and early evening free. Attendees must pay for their meals and costs for whatever they choose to do during that free time.
• Adding Additional Delegates to an existing registration: Register them on a NEW registration form. An invoice is created separately. (Our system does not combine separate entries into one invoice. Every registration you submit creates its own invoice.)
• We ask that delegates register a month before the workshop to give directors time to create room assignments, etc. 
• Registration will close at least two weeks before the workshops or when full.  If you need to add students or register late, contact the workshop director.  If there is space, the director can work with TASC to reopen your registration briefly.
