This document outlines discussion questions and activities from a values-based leadership workshop for student organizations. It includes prompts for participants to reflect on what they learned, ideas to implement on their own campus, why they shared weaknesses easily with strangers, and their personal and organizational values rankings. The goal is to help student groups build community through exploring shared values and having open discussions.
