During
the past twenty-five years the Inland empire Future Leaders Program (IEFLP)
has provided summer leadership development programs for more than 2,900 Latino
eighth- and ninth-grade students from throughout the Inland empire.
The week-long sessions include training in the leadership process,
parliamentary procedure, cultural awareness, college preparation,
career choices, citizenship responsibilities, and public speaking.
The sessions are dynamic, intensive and fun filled, but more important,
we constantly encourage students to strive for academic excellence
and to contribute to their schools and community through personal
involvement.
Four-year follow-up surveys have indicated that
the leadership experience leaves a lasting impression and that it
does indeed effectively and positively influence the students.
The surveys also indicate a 99 percent high school graduation
and a
90 percent college-going rate for students participating in the
program.
