Latseen Leadership Academy (July 23-30, 2011)
(Application)
Application Deadline: June 10, 2011
(Flyer)
Sealaska Heritage Institute hosts an annual Latseen Leadership Academy
in Juneau. 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. 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.
The camps are for Sealaska shareholders or shareholder descendants. Full
scholarships are available for students invited to attend the academy 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 academy). (Photos)
