Ready to Grow Boldly?

There’s a place for you in the Arden community.

Whether you’re ready to join the Leadership Lab, want to connect with other parents, or are interested in bringing Arden to your school or community, we’d love to have you be part of what we’re building.

Join the Arden Leadership Lab

NEXT COHORT · JANUARY 2027

Grades 6–8

A 10-week small-group experience where young people build confidence and discover what they’re capable of.

Thursdays · 5:00–6:30 PM
6040 Wilson Blvd · Arlington, VA 22205
10 weeks · Limited to 15 students

If the program fee feels like a barrier for your family, please reach out. We don’t want cost to be the reason a young person misses out.

Join the Free Arden Parent Circle

For parents raising capable, confident young people.

A free monthly conversation about the ideas, challenges, and experiences that help young people thrive.

First Tuesday of every month · 7:30–8:30 PM · Online

Open to all parents—you don’t need to be an Arden family to join us.

Bring Arden to Your School or Community

Arden partners with schools and youth organizations to bring leadership and personal growth experiences directly to young people.

If you're a school leader, educator, or community organization interested in bringing Arden to your students, we'd love to connect.

Become an Arden Teen Leader

Help shape Arden—and help younger students grow.

Arden Teen Leaders are high school students who want to contribute to the Arden community in meaningful ways.

Depending on the opportunity, Teen Leaders may help shape and test Arden experiences, share feedback on curriculum, or support younger students during Leadership Lab sessions.

It's a chance to build your leadership skills, gain real-world experience, and help shape Arden from the ground up.
