Youth Leadership Development Opportunity!

Youth Leadership Greater Washington (YLGW) has an outstanding leadership development opportunity for current sophomores and juniors from the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland. From January-June of 2007, the program will bring together a diverse group of students on a monthly basis to explore and discuss various issues, including, cultural diversity, government and society, arts and culture and leadership.

Although the program costs over $1000 per student for the six-month program, tuition for students is only $150. YLGW will work with any student who cannot afford the $150 cost.

The deadline to apply to the program is Friday, December 15 at 5:00 p.m. For more information visit the website at: www.lgwdc.org. You can also contact Diana Veiga if you have any questions - via phone
