Hello Efamily,
My daughter Maria is a current participant in this program (HLT) and spent the
past summer at Rice and U of H in excellent training classes, networking
sessions, hearing talks by top leaders in politics and business and she is
seeking students to join next year’s class! And those of you that are financial
sponsors of programs like this, this is a program that deserves your support.
It is well run and really will make a difference in children’s lives. The
coordinator of the program Barbara Paige is an efamily member, along with her
sister Faye, those of you who know them know EXCELLENCE is their middle name...
you won’t regret finding out more about this program and participating. Several
efamily members have also been interviewers for this program, which provides a
really good start in 11th grade to all the interviewing and essay writing that
college application year (Senior year) bring! This program got 5 stars and 2
thumbs up from Maria! If you are interested in applying – please see the
attached flier – note the requirements and information about the program – more
information on the HLT website http://www.houstonleaders.org/
As an HLT participant, Maria or I would be happy to put your name on the list
of 2013 recruits and as a bonus we’ll get credit for recruiting you! Please
email Maria or me your name, preferred email, snail mail address, telephone and
high school to mariareynolds2012@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:mariareynolds2012@xxxxxxxxx>
Include who referred you (how you heard about HLT or got this email-your parent

Donna
PS Maria has met outstanding young people, other Seniors, who are now in her
circle of friends, from all over the city of Houston-Harris County from this
program! It’s a close-knit group of like-minded students!
APPLICATION DEADLINES Round 1 - February 1, 2012 and Round 2 - March 6, 2012
Houston Leadership For Tomorrow (formerly MLT-Houston) – the Houston metro
area’s premier high school leadership development program – is now accepting
applications for the HLT Class of 2013 from high-achieving African American,
Hispanic and Native American juniors. Applicants are encouraged to start early
so there will be adequate time to submit a complete application online at
www.houstonleaders.org<http://www.houstonleaders.org/>. The program is free of
charge, but does require a commitment to full participation.
The cornerstone of the HLT program is the HLT Leadership Summit that includes
skill-building workshops, seminars and learning journeys. HLT Emerging Leaders
learn about Houston’s challenges and opportunities from prominent business and
civic leaders , explore career opportunities, and build a high-performing peer
network. The Leadership Summit is held over the course of two weeks in June
during which participants live on a college campus. It is an interactive,
problem solving-oriented learning experience that opens participants’ eyes to
the skills effective leaders need, as well as to their own strengths,
weaknesses and potential in a way that many have said is life-changing. Entry
into HLT alumni network begins at the end of the school year and expands the
opportunity to build relationships with other HLT alums who share an interest
in becoming a leader in Houston.
TOP TIER COLLEGE ATTENDANCE
HLT provides a unique leadership development experience that gives participants
from greater Houston’s private, charter and public schools an edge in college
and beyond. Participants ̶ known as HLT Emerging Leaders ̶ become part of
an elite cohort of future leaders. In addition to leadership skills, HLT
focuses on the best educational route to fulfill leadership aspirations, as
well as financial aid strategies and a record 54% of the HLT Class of 2011 is
currently attending top-tier universities. Nearly half of HLT Alumni have been
admitted to top-tier colleges and universities including Harvard, Yale
Stanford, Columbia, and New York University along with Rice and the University
of Texas.
WHO SHOULD APPLY TO HLT?
The HLT Emerging Leaders share similar characteristics. They are African
American, Hispanic and Native American juniors from the Greater Houston area
school and most have a GPA of at least 3.5. (Students with lower academic
credentials are accepted based on an essay describing why their past academic
record is not indicative of future success.) They have demonstrated leadership
potential by academic, community, church, employment and/or athletic activities
and awards and honors. They would like to attend a selective college or
university, can be a strong contributor in a group of Houston’s best and
brightest students and would like to be a leader in Houston at some point in
their career.
