of migrant youth through development of leadership skills.

| Conference Events. |

SLP combines nationally recognized curriculum
which is aligned with Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements
and staff trained in student-centered learning to conduct leadership conferences.
Students learn to set goals, solve problems, work as a team, communicate and
make decisions. Students often conduct local service-learning activities and
receive local high school credit for participation in SLP activities. Compared
to a national 50% graduation rate, close to 80% of SLP conference participants
graduate. Students say that SLP leadership development activities are “empowering
and life changing.” Check out

| Local Support/Capacity Building. |
|

Local school staff, community
members, parents and students actively participate with SLP in the planning
of regional events. Through a holistic approach to planning and implementation
of local leadership development projects, local staff are able to replicate
leadership development services in each of their high schools and middle schools.
The SLP provides a replication guide, curriculum, training, planning and logistical
support. The SLP Staff travel to six regions of the
state serving six schools for a period of
two years each. Each school is offered the opportunity to be served by SLP every
four years. Schools are selected for SLP service based on an application submitted
to SEMY.
