Read Detailed Program Overview

The Pearl S. Buck Leadership Program is available to area high school students entering 9th, 10th and 11th grade in September, 2010.

Students must complete an application, provide two references, and make a commitment to attend all sessions and complete a service project before graduation in December. Classes will meet one full Sunday in September and then weekly after school each Thursday September through November at Pearl S. Buck International headquarters. The program is fully funded by The Comcast Foundation.

Participants will develop a broad array of leadership skills and a fundamental understanding of how to apply those skills for personal development and service projects. They will graduate with the ability, desire, and skills to make meaningful, lifelong contributions within the community.

Each participant will complete a personal needs analysis and engage in goal setting, team building, project planning, decision making, and other leadership exercises. The training culminates in a service project, created and implemented by participants, and a final group presentation. Students must dedicate at least 30 hours for lesson time plus additional time to complete the service project.
