Dear Meaghan,
PowerPlay NYC is now accepting applications for our SuperSTARS Summer Leadership Academy for High School Girls! This will be the 12th summer that we will be providing high school girls with a unique and life changing summer experience.
The Academy offers high school girls entering grades nine through twelve the opportunity to (i) learn and participate in a variety of sports; (ii) develop workplace, leadership and life skills for success; (iii) interact with women in a variety of careers; (iv) engage in health and wellness learning; (v) explore the college admissions process; and (vi) participate in STARWorks mini-internships.
Attached you will find the application (due Thursday, March 21st!) and FAQs sheet containing more information. We are asking that you help us identify girls for whom the Academy would be a good fit - please distribute the materials widely.
The ideal candidate is a girl who demonstrates potential for developing into a smart, successful woman and possesses the following qualities:
- Demonstrate a willingness to push herself and an eagerness to develop her own potential
- Applies herself at school and other activities
- Has the capacity to work in groups
- Brings a positive attitude and is able to accept constructive feedback
- Demonstrates a willingness to try new things and meet new people
Participation on a sports team is not a requirement. However, the girls spend an average of two hours a day doing sports and physical activities. Girls who are nominated should be interested in these activities.
Scholarships covering the cost of the program are offered to all accepted participants. Again, the deadline for applications is Thursday, March 21st. Feel free to contact me with any further questions.
Best,
Allison Green
Program Associate
