Intensive monthly sessions in the six-month program allow students to explore and examine the local economy, government, arts and culture and more. Participants also receive applicable skills training based on the StrengthsQuest program, a national leadership training course. The program, which starts in October and concludes in April, also provides students the opportunity to work in a team environment during a community service project.
Applicants must commit to attending all sessions, be currently enrolled at a Lone Star College campus or center, and plan to enroll for the fall and subsequent spring semesters. Applications are available through the Student Life/Student Activities Office at each campus or online. A selection committee reviews the applications and five students are selected from each campus and/or centers.
There is no cost to the participant.
