Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) is a program in which participants will develop leadership ability by partaking in a series of weekly workshops.They will interact with prominent community leaders who will provide specialized insight into specific areas of the curriculum. Aside from discussions with guest speakers, the curriculum will include an introductory retreat or banquet, debates and discussions, writing assignments, and group exercises. These workshops will be held weekly on Saturdays from late June through the end of August.
A team of facilitators, consisting of college students, recent college graduates, and some high school students (depending on experience), help to design the summer curriculum and co-facilitate weekly workshops and activities.
All qualified individuals, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc., are encouraged to apply.
