Service Leadership Academy!
“My dream for a better world is that we learn to accept one another and our selves as human beings with equal rights. If we would all learn to live in peace with one another many things would not be like it is now. We would not make others feel less than. Most importantly, my dream is that there would be no hate left in this world.”
Welcome to Service Leadership Academy (SLA)! Through enrichment, leadership development, and team building, you'll build confidence and skills as Ambassador, and strengthen community as the Class of 2022. Over four weeks, SLA will feature social media inspiration, online content delivered via weekly emails, and community forums with inspirational leaders -- whom we call "Movement Makers" and Project 351 Alumni.

Inspired by members of the 2016-17 Celtics roster, the Shamrock Foundation launched an anti-discrimination and bias-prevention program called The Playbook Initiative.
The program, which resulted in the creation of a “social playbook”, inspires a dialogue on race, religion, gender, disability and sexual orientation and ultimately equips young people with the tools to intervene in challenging social situations.
Over the last two years, the Celtics Shamrock Foundation and Project 351 have collaborated to increase the scope and scale of Playbook through a cohort of high school Alumni “Trainers”, each selected for their commitment to social justice and inclusion. Trainers were enriched by workshops, training, and mentorship by Celtics and Project 351 staff. And, gained facilitation and mentorship skills to successfully engage middle school students.
Through candid dialogues and greater awareness, middle school participants developed the courage and tools to positively intervene in challenging social situations. Inspired by the example of Celtics players, coaches, and staff, youth committed to lead as upstanders and bridge builders.
This year, for the second year in a row, we are excited to bring Playbook to every Project 351 Ambassador through two virtual workshops in the next two weeks!
