The Alaska Teen Leadership Summit is accepting applications for a week-long summer
residence program on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, May 31-June 7. The
application deadline is April 10.
Previously known as the Summer Leadership Institute, ATLAS is designed to develop
leadership skills for students finishing grades 9-12. Participants earn two college
credits.
Students learn essential components of leadership, including communication, integrity,
ethics and social responsibility. They also learn how to create a project plan. In
addition, the program focuses on interpersonal skills, goal setting and decision-making.
The program costs $450, which includes tuition for two academic credits, fees, room,
meals and program materials. Some scholarships are available on the basis of demonstrated
financial need.
