Latseen Leadership Training (June 19-July 1, 2008)
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. A scholarship will be
awarded to twenty 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.
Submit an application to SHI or contact Sarah Dybdahl at 586-9234 or sarah.dybdahl@sealaska.com for more information. Application must be postmarked no later than April 18, 2008.
