University of Alaska Southeast, Auke Lake Campus
Sealaska Heritage
Institute is hosting the Latseen Leadership
Training at the University of
Alaska. The training is designed to provide engaging culturally-based
education and activities for youth in support of their future academic
and personal success with a focus on rigor, relevance, and
relationships. Alaska Native high school students who have an
interest in Southeast Alaska Native history, language, and culture and a
desire to obtain college credit should apply. Scholarships will be
awarded to 40 students to cover the cost for tuition, meals, and
lodging. (Read this great
letter by former
Latseen participant Alyssa London, who applied to Stanford and wrote her
application essay on her experience at the camp).
The goal of the program is to teach students the art of leadership
through the development of self – knowledge, physical and spiritual
strength. In a supportive learning environment, students will
participate in cultural, artistic, athletic and academic activities
while earning college credit. (Flyer)
