Program Participants

What do our students say about ELA?

After participating in Club Lead my experience as a leader has become more apparent. (Recently) one of my friends asked me for help on a problem, so I obliged and started to make a study partnership with her. Then, one by one, more students asked to pitch in and before I knew it we had a huge study group that I was leading! It felt so good to help others and I hope to do it more often!

I now set realistic goals for myself and embrace change more often than before.

Club LEAD

Coming into Club Lead, I was not sure what to expect. In general, I’m an introvert and usually quiet around unfamiliar people and situations. This program has helped me to open up and become more confident in myself. Now that the eight weeks are over, I will not forget the skills I have learned. It will have an everlasting effect on the rest of my life.
