LEAP (Leadership Enrichment Adventure Program) - The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is proud to host LEAP!
LEAP is our preeminent leadership program for college students with hearing loss who use spoken language to communicate. This intentive leadership program is designed to help participants develop skills in individual leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, and problem solving. Best of all, these 20 outstanding college students will have opportunities to share experiences and learn from each other!
WHO: Applicants must have completed at least one year of undergraduate study to be eligible.
WHERE: A university-like setting in Washington D.C.
LEAP facilitators will be members of AG Bell's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Section (DHHS), adults with hearing loss themselves. They will facilitate LEAP activities, but it's the participants - YOU - who make LEAP an unforgettable learning and self-development experience! Over the 3-1/2 days, participants will:
Explore models of leadership and how they apply to everyday life.
Discuss exployment options and interviewing tactics.
Brainstorm ways to take a more active leadership role on campus, in the larger community, and in organizations such as AG Bell.
