Leadership for International Internships

How do we grow into conscious leaders and peacemakers? This is a 3-day training that teaches skills and techniques that can be used to balance ourselves when we are facing difficult situations. As we deepen our character we may want to look beyond the issues in front of us and see what they truly reflect. Leadership skills are taught with the focus being on how to maintain and live from our center, no matter what is going on around us. The training prepares students to go on international internships. The training is usually held in a retreat setting and is required for all going on service internships.

This class is offered every June or on an as-needed basis.
