Who They Are

 

Revolution Leadership (RL)® was founded in 2001 by Audrey K. Chisholm, Esq. As a 17-year old sophomore at Florida State University, Mrs. Chisholm was inspired to start a nonprofit organization that would focus on leadership development and award annual scholarships. She used her own summer internship savings to fund the first Revolution Leadership® Retreat (RLR) on July 6, 2002. In 2006, the Revolution Leadership® Retreat was merged into the corporation Revolution Leadership®, Inc. (RL) and was incorporated in the State of Florida as a Florida not-for-profit corporation. Revolution Leadership® received its 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. Since then, over 1,663 students have successfully participated in their leadership retreats, workshops, college tours, SAT/ACT training,  and other programming and they have awarded 30 college scholarships.
