“Everyone worked so hard and there was
a lot of team determination to meet our day’s
goals."
“The hands-on activities are a wonderful learning
opportunity to apply the skills that you are learning in
the seminars and workshops to the volunteer project.”

Overview
Join students from other
community colleges in Maryland for our
annual Summer Civic Leadership program. This three
day training will take place in Towson, MD. The
training is designed for students to explore and develop
their own leadership skills through interactive workshops
and activities. In addition, participants will
participate in a full day group volunteer project in the
community. For training and registration materials in

Volunteer Project
As
part of the training, all participants will spend Wednesday
volunteering with the Jones Falls Watershed
Association. This is a big project - perfect for a
lot of people. Work will include invasive plant
removal along Towson University Creek (Vines can smother
and kill trees. Save some trees and have fun—no experience
necessary. Training will be provided).
Tentative Schedule
The first day is made up of
team building and leadership sessions. The second day
consists of a full day group volunteer project with the
Jones Falls Watershed Association. While the third
day focuses on how to utilize leadership skills back in
your own community.
