Building Leaders Through Graduate School Access

What We Do

Leadership Brainery is a nonprofit focused on preparing young leaders ages 18–24 for success in graduate school. We equip students with the preparation, guidance, and insight needed to compete for admission to selective master’s and doctoral programs—and to thrive once they’re there.

By strengthening pathways to advanced degrees, we help develop leaders ready to shape their fields and communities.
