June 20-26, 2021 – 100% Online

Cost: $150 | Application Deadline: April 30

Earn college credit, grow as a leader, and improve your community this summer. Through the Summer Leadership & Service Summit (LSS) students between their junior and senior year of high school attend a week-long online institute to study and practice leadership skills and service as a form of community and civic engagement. In a week of virtual learning, students work under the direction of faculty and staff from Wartburg College’s Institute for Leadership Education. Students will continue to engage with these individuals throughout the 2021-22 academic year as they implement their projects.

Earn 3.5 semester hours of transferable college credit for “Elements of Leadership" course ($1,200 value).

Participants who attend Wartburg earn a $1000 scholarship per year for up to four years. Attendance at the full week institute is required.

Participate in team-building activities and hands-on service projects designed to expand and challenge leadership and service skills.

Impact the local community by engaging in service learning opportunities.

Develop a community service project and implement it in their home communities the following school year.

If your high school requires service learning to graduate, LSS can satisfy 8-12 hours of that requirement and allow you to earn college credit at the same time.

Create a portfolio and submit it for review to the Institute for Leadership Education.

Work with a trained college student mentor.

Questions about the Summer Leadership & Service Summit should be directed to 319-352-8486 or email lss@wartburg.edu.
