At present, the issue of finding leaders and creating conditions for the development of leadership in children's organizations is of great social significance. The Russian movement of schoolchildren undertakes this task as the central one in its activity. In our work, we focus on the development of leadership qualities of rural schoolchildren, since this problem has not been the subject of systematic research. The aim of the work is to study the peculiarities of the development of leadership qualities of rural young people when they join the Russian movement of schoolchildren. Diagnostic tools used to study the formation of leadership qualities: a method of studying leadership abilities (Zharikov, Krushelnitskiy), a test questionnaire of achievement motivation by Mehrabian, the method “I am a leader” by Fedorov and Eremin, Hall's methodology «Emotional intelligence», methods for studying the communicative and organizational inclinations of senior students. It is important to correlate the activity of senior schoolchildren, their desire to develop their leadership potential with socially significant types of activities, in which they are included within the Russian movement of schoolchildren, with the priority tasks facing the specific settlement where they live. The leadership potential of high school students is considered as a set of abilities and personal qualities that manifest themselves in situations of interaction in a group and allow them to become leaders. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the fact that it identifies conditions that contribute to the development of the leadership potential of high school students – examination of the social, age, psychological characteristics of this category of students; psychological and pedagogical support in the development of leadership qualities provided by mentors for senior students; introduction of innovative technologies for the development of leadership qualities; inclusion of students in real situations where they can take a leadership position. The practical significance lies in the development of the «School of the Leader – Mentor» program, which has been successfully tested. In the course of its implementation, the following forms and methods have shown their effectiveness: discussions, business and role-playing games, designing, trainings, leadership competitions, playing situations, meeting with reputable people – leaders in their fields, self-presentation, etc. Achieved results (indications of the implemented program effectiveness): high school students learned to apply leadership theory to practice; tried themselves as leaders of youth public associations; mastered the methods of involving other students in the activities of the Russian movement of schoolchildren.
