The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) is the nation’s largest leadership honor society. Students are selected by NVC for membership based on academic standing. In addition to honorable distinction, NSLS provides a step-by-step program for members to build their leadership skills. Upon completion of the program, members receive their leadership certificate and take their place among the top student leaders at their campus and across the country. Members are able to list their affiliations on all statements of personal accomplishment, including their resume.

The Society encourages community action, volunteerism, personal growth and strong leadership from its chapters and members around the world.
