Annapolis, Md. (May 25, 2017) – Maryland Leadership Workshops, a division of Leadership Maryland, has announced the staff for its Summer 2017 programs. In total, 59 people from across the state and region have been hired to guide this year’s five peer-led, week-long programs for middle and high school students to be held at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland this July.
Maryland Leadership Workshops (MLW) staff members are high school and college students or recent graduates who have demonstrated superior leadership qualities. Many are former MLW delegates, and all complete an extensive two-month training program.
This year’s class of staff includes three representatives from Charles County, including:
• Ciara Albrittain of Faulkner will serve as Team Leader for the Middle School Experience in Leadership program for students entering grades 6-8.
• Pearson Benson of La Plata will serve as Team Leader for the Middle School Experience in Leadership program for students entering grades 6-8.
• Brandon Hill of Waldorf will serve as staff for the Middle School Experience in Leadership program for students entering grades 6-8.
In addition, MLW has announced that it is extending Early Bird Pricing for three of its Summer 2017 programs. The discounted pricing is available for a limited time for the following programs:
• Middle School Experience in Leadership (July 16-22, 2017): For students entering grades 6-8 in Fall 2017. Students begin to develop their individual leadership skills and learn how to identify and take advantage of opportunities for leadership in their schools and communities.
• Senior High Workshop (July 23-29, 2017): For students entering grades 9-12 in Fall 2017. A fun, challenging, inspiring, and fulfilling week-long experience for teens that helps them to develop leadership skills needed to succeed in diverse environments.
• Journey (July 9-15, 2017): For Howard County girls entering 8th or 9th grade in Fall 2017. Support for this program has been provided by the Women’s Giving Circle, a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County. At this unique program, each student identifies her own leadership skills, strengths, and weaknesses in a supportive and fun environment, which fosters increased self-esteem and confidence.
Each program offers a supportive and fun environment to foster increased independence, self-esteem and confidence for a diverse composition of students from around Maryland and the country. Program participants, known as delegates, develop concepts and skills during workshops, group projects, committee responsibilities and small group discussion sessions. Other activities include games, variety shows, dances, and opportunities for delegates to lead activities for their peers.
