Hello Interested Leaders,
America On Track’s Emerging Leaders for Civic Engagement program is a multi-faceted after-school program to inspire today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders. This is achieved through training in leadership and public speaking skills, a focus on future careers including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), fitness & nutrition, drug use prevention, exposure to the arts and involvement in community engagement.
The Emerging Leaders for Civic Engagement (ELCE) program is about developing future leaders, providing life-transforming opportunities and creating life-long volunteers! The program has a 27-year science-based track record and was awarded the Presidential Service Award for Outstanding Services to Youth in 1999. ELCE has evolved over the years while teaming up with educators, civic leaders, outstanding high school students, and elementary school children.
Additionally, ELCE offers a nurturing synergistic forum for all participants to enjoy developing strong public speaking skills, have fun, meet new friends and also develop a love of volunteering.
This program is a great way to receive volunteer hours, letters of recommendation, and scholarships!!
