Introduction: Level 3

O.K., if you have come this far, you are probably pretty interested. Honestly, many people see this week as one of the best experiences of their lives. Why? One of the things we have seen over the years is that people are looking to either become good leaders or to support good leaders, but most people are timid about their ability to lead or support other leaders.
Our society is in need of great men and women to take a stand for causes and issues which will help our society to achieve the goals of life, liberty and the pursit of happiness for all of its citizens. You as a citizen must have a good understanding of how government works to make this a reality. High school government classes are helpful, like driver's ed classes are helpful, but without some practical experience it is hard to understand all the consequences of your actions.
On one hand, you may consider yourself a good leader in your high school. This program will help you test those skills among a completely new crowd of people you don't know and who won't know you. On the other hand, if you haven't really exercised your leadership skills very much, this is a great place to try out your ability at leadership. For many, many people this week has been a wake-up-call, a reality check of who they are and what they really stand for.
This process is accomplished through an outstanding group of counselors and advisors ranging in age from one year older than you through people who may be your grandparent's age. You will find different opinions and ways of solving problems across the spectrum. The benefit to you is that you can pick and choose what you see as the best ideas that you would like to encorporate into whatever is uniquely you.
You only get one shot at this program. It is well worth a week of your time to test the waters of democracy and see if you have what it takes to be a leader.
