The LeadAmerica academic summer programs tend to bring out the best in students. Three Santa Fe Catholic High School students, Ragan Jones, Alex Hall & Elizabeth (Ellie) Swengros, were challenged to use critical thinking to solve complex problems, to think on their feet and engage in debates to defend their conclusions at the LeadAmerica academic summer programs held at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Boston.
Alix Feagaiga got a little more than she bargained for during her LeadAmerica conference in Washington, D.C.
The Trinidad, Colorado resident’s political chops were tested after being nominated to run for the US Senator Seat of her LeadAmerica conference class. This political exercise mimics a real political campaign where the nominee must choose a campaign manager & chief of staff, create a campaign video and lobby for votes.
Another inspiring story from one of our alumni! Algonquin Regional High School Student Priscilla Sena joins the list of youth entrepreneur stories after attending LeadAmerica's Global Business and Entrepreneurship Conference in 2008. Read how she has started the first ballroom dancing club at Algonquin Regional High School using the entrepreneurship skills and confidence she gained at our conference while also stepping up her involvement with the Community Harvest Project farm. Way to go Priscilla!
