Core values associated with student leadership is decision making, unity, respect and loyalty. Student leaders need to be able to make decisions that will provide the most benefit for  people affected. Unity is essential for organizations to function properly and smoothly. Leaders should know how to bring unite others so they can work efficiently and effectively.  Without respect for one another and the work at hand the organization cannot work to its full potential.

Leaders  need to be loyal to their counterparts and coworkers so others can have trust and faith in them as well support their decisions.

Effective student leadership requires ethics and integrity because leaders must know what is right and wrong, what they can do and what is not acceptable.
