“Summer Nexus opened my eyes to the community around me and has given me a better understanding of myself. I can confidently say that I am not the same person I was when I started this program.”
This week-long program, helps young adults develop leadership skills that will help them make an impact in their schools and communities. Coming from both urban, suburban, and rural schools, Summer Nexus participants build new bonds of trust and friendship through an interactive curriculum and by planning and implementing a community-focused service project. By using the new leadership skills they are learning, they discover what a difference they can make working together!

"Summer Nexus helped me prepare for life. The lessons taught me a lot about college, but also about decision making and problem solving. Our community service project helped me to take the initiative and practice these skills."
