Students Today Leaders Forever's (STLF) was a non-profit organization that engaged in and encouraged servant leadership, primarily carrying this out through facilitating cross-country service trips, called "Pay it Forward Tour"s, for students within the United States.[1][2] The mission of the organization was to reveal leadership through service, relationships, and action as a result of these tours.[3] STLF allowed voluntary participation to students in the middle school, high school, and collegiate level. STLF stated its purpose was to provide leadership experience and encourage students to become catalysts for positive change in their own lives, schools, and communities. Before dissolving, it had chapters at 32 universities in 10 states.[4] It dissolved in May 2018, citing "challenges in program participation and fundraising".
