Summer Youth Initiative

If you're not sure what you want to do following high school, you're not alone. You simply need a chance to explore your interests. That's why we created the Summer Youth Program. The program emphasizes fun, hands-on activities, with the goal of introducing you to college life. You will be working in teams with students who face the same concerns about their future. Participation in the program will improve your communication skills, and you will be encouraged to think about career options as well.

In this year's workshop, you will have the opportunity to visit area restaurants and hotels. You will work in small groups to design a business with a hospitality management/tourism focus. This year we have the distinct benefit of having a second focus in music therapy. During this one-week workshop, you will create "life albums" using art and music as a medium.
