Leadership Springfield ACADEMY CLASS APPLICATIONS LAUNCH MONDAY, FEB. 10
Academy Class applications will be open for current sophomores who will be in
their junior year in 2020-2021. The Academy program celebrates 30 years this
year, and these students continue to showcase the home-grown talent of
Springfield. During this nine month program, students explore their
strengths, learn about the local community and coordinate monthly program
days where they get to see firsthand how leaders work together to structure and
influence the community around them. Students will gain project management
skills, leadership aptitude and a newfound appreciation for the work that goes
into making our community function.
Leadership Springfield offers the Academy program to area students to help them discover how to be more engaged citizens and develop as community leaders. This work has been done thanks to a village of dedicated board members and volunteers, who generously give their time to speak during the program, plan and prepare, or serve in teams as Academy Advisors, guiding students in planning their program days and providing beneficial mentorship. The Academy Class has been offered for 30 years without a cost to the students, their families or the school district.
We would like to share this valuable program with local students, and you can help. Spread the word about the Academy Class to your kids, nieces and nephews, family friends, youth pastors, club leaders and more. To apply, students should be current sophomores and live within the Springfield Public Schools district. They can attend any public, private or homeschool in the district. The application will go live on our website www.leadershipspringfield.org on Monday. We will also host an informational session to answer questions about the Academy Class on February 19 from 3:30 - 5:30 pm at our office - 1711 West Battlefield.
NO School - Monday, Feb. 17th for President's Day
