At Evergreen Awards, we are excited to celebrate and recognize companies that excel in their respective fields, offering products and services that are not only innovative but impactful. This year, we are proud to honor LeaderQuest with the award for Best Screen-Free Learning Tool in the United States of 2025.
A Vision to Reconnect Families and Foster Leadership
LeaderQuest has redefined educational tools for children by offering a product that promotes the development of essential life skills—leadership, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and communication—without the use of screens. Founded by Ara Oh, LeaderQuest was created in response to the growing concerns of children spending excessive time on digital devices, which often hinder meaningful communication and the development of social skills.
The company’s flagship product, Future Leaders, is a 58-card deck designed for children aged 6 to 12. It combines historical role models, problem-solving exercises, and communication scenarios to create an interactive, screen-free learning experience that empowers children to practice and refine leadership skills in the real world.
A Unique Approach to Education
LeaderQuest stands out from the competition by taking a refreshingly screen-free approach to education in a time when digital tools dominate the learning landscape. While many educational tools rely on apps, videos, or interactive digital platforms, LeaderQuest emphasizes the power of real-world interactions. The Future Leaders card deck encourages face-to-face conversation and critical thinking, engaging children in meaningful dialogue rather than passive screen time.
What sets LeaderQuest apart is the professional leadership expertise embedded into the product. Ara Oh, the founder, has over a decade of experience in management consulting and leadership development. She has brought this rich expertise into a deck that is both practical and accessible, helping children develop skills that are immediately applicable in their everyday lives.
Transformative Impact on Children and Families
Since its launch, LeaderQuest has received rave reviews from parents who have seen their children flourish after using the Future Leaders deck. One parent shared, “These cards gave my daughter the tools to confidently resolve a conflict at school. She now handles difficult situations with a calm, thoughtful approach. This is more than a learning game; it’s a life skill-building experience.” Such testimonials speak to the real-world impact of LeaderQuest’s product in nurturing confident, capable leaders.
Parents appreciate that LeaderQuest offers more than just a tool to fill time; it is a catalyst for meaningful family connection. In a world where screen time has become the norm, the Future Leaders deck provides an intentional, hands-on way for families to engage in powerful conversations that promote growth, empathy, and resilience in children.
