History
Leader's Challenge was founded in 2000 by American author Tommy Spaulding, who serves as President/CEO of Up with People. The organization initially offered one program serving 60 eleventh grade students at 10 high schools in metro Denver and Boulder.
In 2006, the organization expanded, with the introduction of a program aimed at high school seniors, and the absorption of the long-established Colorado Close Up program.
As of October 28, 2009, Leader's Challenge was shut down due to financial difficulties.
