NASC Summer Leadership Workshops
"My first year at workshop was my freshman year, and I learned so much about all aspects of myself. I learned how important it is to respect others, their views, culture, and personalities. I also met the most amazing people and they impacted the way I live today... those were the best 5 days of my summer."
-Sabrina DeSandro, Omaha North High School
Workshop 2012: July 24-28, 2012. Wayne State College.
If you're a student leader in Nebraska (or would like to be) you can't miss the NASC Summer Leadership Workshops! Workshop brings leaders from across the state together in Wayne, NE, for 5 days of leadership development, networking and fun. We have three different Workshops, all held on the same dates and at the same place, so choose yours based on what grade you're in:
For those entering grades 6-8 in the fall, JAM (Junior and Middle School Leadership Workshop) prepares students to be leaders in their middle schools, high schools and beyond with an exciting, hands-on curriculum. Click on "JAM" on the left to learn more.
ALW (Advanced Leadership Workshop) is for students who have attended a Workshop before and will be seniors in the fall. ALW's community-focused, rigorous curriculum equips students for life after high school, while teaching them how to make the most of their senior year. Click on "Advanced Leadership" on the left to learn more.
The Summer Leadership Workshop (SLW) is for senior high students (those entering grades 9-12 in the fall). Students work in small groups (called "co-ops") and large groups, focusing on seven leadership skill tracks. The curriculum is fun, interactive, and definitely hands-on. You'll learn about leadership by experiencing it. And you'll engage with students from across the state in NASC's biggest, most exciting event of the year. You can learn more by downloading the brochure below.
