This special program
sponsored by Educational Opportunity Programs is available to students
who have developed a record of service activities through their participation
in high school, church, community or employment related activities or
organizations. The program seeks to enroll students who have demonstrated
leadership potential by exercising social and civic responsibility through
public service and now have the desire to strengthen their leadership skills
in the areas of personal management and organizational effectiveness.
If you are a student who wishes to learn how you can "lead"
effectively and make a valuable difference in the lives of others, then
you are a candidate for this program.
Enrollment in this
leadership development program is limited and competitive. It affords
students the opportunity to learn how to be better leaders, resolve conflicts,
build/sustain relationships within a team setting, delegate assignments,
make presentations, mentor and coach others, set action plans and objectives,
and most importantly, exercise these skills by becoming a member of HRLDA/The
Student Leadership Corps - a highly visible and active student organization
committed to service and community development. Each year this team carries
out 40 projects and over 2,000 hours of service are provided to public
and private human service organizations.
Members, during the
academic year earn up to $1,200 for their community service work, and
are eligible to work as a Peer Leader during the E.O.F. Summer Program.
Approximately $3000 of compensation in the form of salary, tuition/fees,
room board, and meals is given to students hired as Peer Leaders. Students
wishing to learn more about the program may complete the H.R.L.D.I.A. Summer Orientation Stage Application. Students accepted
for this stage will be introduced to the program, members of the HRLDA
Student Leadership Corps, and on a limited basis work along side these
members this summer. Students enrolled in the Orientation Stage have priority
in being selected for the academic year program. If you want to be a step
ahead of other applicants applying for the academic year program, fill
out the application. Only students who select to participate in H.R.L.D.I/A
will be eligible for the Emerging Leaders Program and considered for the
3-credit course Introduction to Leadership Development.
