Our semester-long program for high school junior leaders.

Leadership Boise Academy (LBA) was formed in 1984 by the Boise Metro Chamber to educate a diverse group of high school students and provide an opportunity for students to gain a better understanding of current issues and opportunities in our community.

​The Academy aims to motivate high school juniors by offering a dynamic learning opportunity through active engagement with current and emerging community leaders in the business, corporate and non-profit sector from across the Treasure Valley. Through the program, students are encouraged to become more involved in addressing the critical issues facing our community and the role they can play in ensuring the success of the Boise Metro region.
