What does this program entail? Great question.
This is an intensive 6-month program split into two semesters - Spring semester will be February to April and Fall semester will be September to November.
Each semester consists of three projects focused on Emotional, Social and Cultural leadership. Each student is expected to research the subject and present it at the end of the three-month period. While they research their topics, we will also be focusing on public speaking and presentation skills so they can grow their confidence and speak comfortably in front of others.
