| PLI Program Description |
| PLI offers cutting edge programs and services designed to connect groups in ways that engage participants in their own learning and inspires greater retention and application. Like a “chemical reaction”, there needs to be a certain input of energy to start things working; a person needs that same input to start thinking, performing and learning. Our programs provide that energy in unique ways that can impact the agencies we work with. The PLI works with any agency or organization to customize programs meeting a groups' specific goals. |

| Curriculum Development |
PLI operates on a basic premise; that is, some topics like teamwork, self-esteem, trust and leadership can only be taught through hands-on experiential learning methods. With 25 years of experience and resources within San Francisco State University , our curriculum combines current theories and research with interactive cooperative activities.
