Over the past eight-months, the students have participated in sessions and activities which have advanced them as young leaders. The curriculum of the program is geared to help students discover their leadership strengths, develop their awareness of issues and challenges facing the region, explore the resources and opportunities available in our communities, cultivate a commitment to their current and future roles and responsibilities as young leaders, build relationships/collaborate with students across state lines, and encourage a life of community involvement.
