Coaches,
I have been contemplating having our seniors create and implement a leadership project for the upcoming season. I have thought about giving them a couple of options.
1) Service project - lawn raking, clean up, food pantry, etc...
2) flash mob at homecoming

My hope is that the seniors take pride in the effort and it helps develop the leadership capacity of the team. Do any of you do this? Any advice would be appreciated.

The HC does leadership training in the off season. Once a month in the morning from January to May.

In addition, they also will have a couple projects to volunteer for. We do a habitat for humanity build, clean up a park after they have a yearly fundraiser there and do a walk for a cure thing.

I like the idea of having them actually lead from start to finish like you are doing, by having them come up with something to do. But I would also have them constantly keep you informed on the process because teenage boys can sometimes make bad decisions haha.
