For Excellence in Leadership (4XL)

In 2002, NBA star and 2004 league MVP Kevin Garnett partnered with Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) to provide young people with a roadmap to higher achievement.

Together we launched 4XL - For Excellence in Leadership to put minority youth on the path to business and community leadership by addressing their key development needs via a Web-based curriculum that provides a personalized Leadership Roadmap. This innovative program:

  • Connects high school and college students to career resources, mentors, and a high-performing peer community
  • Exposes students to a broad array of academic and career opportunities
  • Provides instruction to foster academic/career achievement and develop leaders
  • Delivers a preparatory roadmap for success via personalized bi-weekly emails

What is the 4XL Leadership Roadmap?
See an example here

We went to talented professionals, educators, admissions officers and top executives from a wide variety of industries and asked them: what experiences, qualifications, and personal qualities do you look for in people that you choose for your company or school? Based on this input, we put together the Leadership Roadmap, a comprehensive career guidance and skill development curriculum for high school and college students via a bi-weekly email.

  • The Leadership Roadmap is personalized to you. The information you enter when registering with 4XL (which you can update at any time by logging in to your account) lets us give you information relevant to your interests, school year, and geographic location.
  • The Leadership Roadmap is completely free and easy to access. We’ll send you an email every two weeks to the in-box of the address you used to register. As a 4XL member, you’ll also have access to our library of content, resources, and opportunities.
  • We can't read it for you! Take advantage of this opportunity - the Leadership Roadmap can help you learn how to understand scholarships and loans, network like a pro, be smart about your personal finances, get ahead in the industry of your choice. And so much more!
