21st Century Leaders Summer Institute Now Open Until March 1st.

 

The application for our four summer leadership institutes is open now until March 1st! If you know high school students in Georgia with an interest in developing their leadership, exploring careers, and meeting peers from across the state, please encourage them to apply!

Our week-long residential summer camps bring 75-100 diverse high school students from all across Georgia together to develop their leadership skills while exploring career paths, networking with professionals, sampling life on a college campus, and more!

We are looking for motivated students to apply, regardless of prior leadership experience or GPA! We believe every student has leadership potential and just needs the opportunity to nurture it.

Students in grades 9-11 can learn more and apply at https://www.21stcenturyleaders.org/for-students/summer-leadership-institutes/.

Note: while two of the institutes have a registration fee for those students accepted to attend, we have financial support available for ANY student with the need. Financial concerns should not keep a student from applying; if accepted for an institute, we can take care of the fees!
