Applications Now Accepted for Global Leadership Program

Pearl S. Buck International is now accepting applications for its always-popular High School Global Leadership Program. The two-week-long session will take place on the grounds of the historic Pearl S. Buck Estate in Hilltown this summer, July 21-25 and July 28-August 1.

The Global Leadership Program, designed for high school students in grades 9 through 11, aims to help teens and young adults develop into better students, college applicants, and global citizens and leaders. Over the course of each session, students learn leadership skills, teamwork, confidence and more as they work with peers from other schools and other religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Participants put their newly acquired skills to use working collaboratively on a service project of their choice, with proceeds donated toward Pearl S. Buck International’s mission and work. Many of our Global Leadership graduates go on to become Pearl S. Buck International volunteers, lead independent fundraisers for Pearl S. Buck International’s humanitarian, cross-cultural, and educational work, and put their skills to use in college and toward future careers.

The application fee includes instruction by a PA state-certified teacher, supplies, daytime snacks for students, and a graduation event. You can access the application and learn more at https://pearlsbuck.org/intercultural-education/leadership/. Applications are due by May 16. For any questions, please contact us at 215-249-0100 or sfreise@pearlsbuck.org.
