Participants engage in community-building and educational sessions with peers. With support from the Office of Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility and Lutherville Laboratory staff, participants also create fun and meaningful afterschool programming for 4th and 5th graders.

“ The program contributed to the development of my leadership skills by showing me what it is like to plan something within a group. I liked how we incorporated everyone’s own unique ideas and changed them into something we collectively were proud of. ”

“ It showed me how I can lead in different aspects, like taking control of a situation but also asking for help when needed. It’ll benefit me as I want to work in the medical field which can be unpredictable. A good leader needs to know when to take control and when to ask for help. ”
