Foundation for MetroWest's Summer Institute for Youth Leadership!

Are you a high school student looking to make an impact in your community? Applications are available for our Summer Institute for Youth Leadership. Apply early as spots are limited! This two-day program is designed for high school students (rising freshmen through seniors). During the program, participants will learn about the importance of becoming actively involved in their own community, discover a keen awareness of their own potential, and develop the skills necessary to become successful leaders. Participants will learn how to evaluate local nonprofit organizations and work together to award a grant to the nonprofit of their choice. In addition to grantmaking and philanthropy education, guest speakers will attend each session to teach a variety of life skills, from creating a resume to balancing a checkbook, and learning to work effectively as a team.

We are offering 2 sessions this summer:

Session 1: Monday, June 30, 2014 –Tuesday, July 1, 2014
