ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Our program isn’t just the concepts of leadership, we engage students with team activities, mixed-media learning, competitions, speeches, and most importantly, building rewarding and long-lasting professional relationships with our Harvard student team.

Alongside the core curriculum, Harvard college students will provide a glimpse into college life, offer insights and tips on college admissions and applications, and share their personal leadership experiences and stories.

Passion Projects are a key outcome of the curriculum. These projects showcase the best of each students’ talents, abilities, and academic excellence, and are often our mentors’ greatest assets (and best-kept secrets) for Harvard admissions.

Creating real, actionable Passion Projects; whether a startup, NGO, publication, website, product, or more, we help accelerate students from idea to impact, which can be continued long after the workshop.

Key Benefits For Students:

  • Identify and develop a Passion Project showcasing the students’ talent, abilities, and academic achievement, which can be continued and expanded long after the workshop concludes.
  • Take-home personalized feedback form for each student, complete with strengths, areas of improvement, and resources for international students to succeed both at Harvard and worldwide.
  • Key concepts, engaging activities, and competitions to teach students our curriculum on leadership, analytical thinking, and public speaking.
  • College panel with Harvard students, covering their high school experiences, college applications and interviews, success in a college environment, and more.
