Are you a Harvard undergraduate student interested in engaging with high school youth on topics like gender and leadership, social movements, and civic engagement/social change? If so, we encourage you to apply to be an Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) mentor! ELP is a youth leadership development program partnering local high school sophomores with current Harvard undergraduates in a mentoring relationship. Together, mentees and mentors challenge limited conceptions of who can be a leader as they build critical skills to drive positive change. ELP aims to spark dialogue that leads to real-world impact, empowering those who might not traditionally view themselves as leaders. Want to learn more?
