Please join us again for the Middle School Leadership Institutes.
Location:
1) Pine Point School, Stonington, CT
2) Marin Country Day School, Corte Madera, CA
Program Dates:
1) July 30 - August 3 (CT)
2) August 1 - August 5 (CA)
In the summer of 2010, GYLI will offer two Middle School Leadership Institutes, one at Pine Point School in Stonington, CT and one in Marin County, CA. Rising 7th and 8th grade students will have the opportunity to interact with students and teachers from other schools. GYLI is working to attract middle school students and faculty from across the country and from overseas for this five-day institute.
Students and faculty at the MSLI will engage together in fun, active, hands-on, activities that build leadership skills. Participants will be introduced to the ideas of race, culture, and religion, and the role that these ideas play in the formation of personal identity. Beyond this multi-cultural experience, the MSLI will focus on basic environmental issues. Both locations offer great facilities for learning about the environment: ongoing project on water quality, astronomical observatories, solar energy panels, and undeveloped land full of wildlife. The capstone of the institute will be a day of sailing on a schooner. At the end of this five-day program, students and teachers will create Leader Learning Plans, which will help them to become leaders in the process of creating change in their schools and communities at home.
