About the Shelton Leadership Center
The Shelton Leadership Center was founded in 2002 by General Hugh Shelton following his retirement as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His desire to give back to his alma mater NC State University, prompted him to initiate a scholarship program. Soon, his efforts grew to include educational programs and organizational development training focused on developing the next generation of values-based leaders. The Shelton Leadership Center’s value-based leadership development programs now reach pre-college, college students, and professionals within multiple settings, including NC State and other higher education institutions, corporations, government entities, non-profits, and youth development organizations.
About the Red Hat Shelton Challenge
The Red Hat Shelton Challenge is a six-day, residential program built on Shelton’s core values – honesty, integrity, diversity, social responsibility, and compassion – and is designed to help high school students enhance their capacities to become values-based leaders. The program invites rising ninth through twelfth graders to be part of a university campus community for the week and participate in activities designed to teach leadership concepts such as ethical decision-making, civic and social responsibility, effective communication, teamwork and collaboration, how to motivate others, and goal setting.
Three week-long camps are held at NC State University:
● June 8-13, 2025
● June 22-27, 2025
● July 13-18, 2025
