[samscommunity] Urban League Summer Work Experience Leadership Program

MESSAGE FROM ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL:


Summer Work Experience Leadership Program 
  
During the summer, the majority of young people in the community are
relaxing at home while their parents are out working. Although some
teens are fine with taking it easy, others are out looking for
employment to keep themselves occupied. While searching for their
potential job, some teens may find it harder than others to get
employed. The Columbia Urban League has a beneficial solution to the
problem.

The Summer Work Experience Leadership Program (SWELP) helps students
develop leadership skills and build character. For more than 15 years,
SWELP has been one of the best in its class as far as providing
employment opportunities to teens. The urban league says the summer
programs is a very influential instrument in teaching adolescents job
survival skills such as setting goals, conflict management, and
effective verbal and non-verbal communication.

The program also helps young people stay out of the streets - away from
gangs and violence. James T. McLawhorn of the Columbia Urban League
says, "We've got to be more engaged as a community. It's going to take
all of us. No one can solve this problem. The Urban League cannot solve
this problem. Law enforcement cannot solve this problem. The church
cannot solve this problem. Parents cannot solve this problem. But we can
solve it working together."

To be eligible for this program, students must be 14 - 19 years old and
complete the application process. Applications will be available
starting May 1st on this site for those interested. (Programs, Downloads
