Summer Serve Leadership Week
Dates: Aug 07, 2023 - Aug 11, 2023
Leadership week is an optional one-week intensive program directly following the end of Summer Serve that focuses on developing identified leaders from within the Summer Serve program. The main goal of Leadership Week is to build on an already strong foundation that participants have so that they may be role models within their circles, thus creating a better youth community.
Programs in Leadership Week have included: meetings with city mayors, county representatives, and state senators, tours of police stations and fire stations, lunch with local Rotary clubs, college tours, city sustainability educational hikes, and service projects.
