Sadie Nash Leadership Project (SNLP), a successful educational and leadership program for young women in New York City public high schools. We believe that every young woman is a leader and offer free programs and classes to further develop that leadership. We are excited to share an exciting upcoming opportunity for your students for Fall 2015: Leadership Institute, a year-long, after-school program for high school aged young women. Classes will incorporate both community building and intensive leadership development as well as integrate college awareness, health and self-care, and increased communication skills. Participants will receive an end-of-year stipend based on their participation and attendance in the group, and are eligible to receive school credit . We are focused on the intellectual and personal development of young women, but our programming also provides greatly needed networking opportunities, boosts college applications and provides young women with a safe, enriching, and creative after-school experience. Young women can choose from three tracks: Making Waves! This class is focused on social justice organizing, activism, and social change! During the class, participants examine social justice issues in their lives and community, explore historical and contemporary women leaders, and learn about social justice movements. They explore theories of social change and develop a social justice project of their own while getting to know more about local government, local leaders, and relevant social justice campaigns in New York City. NYC Making Waves will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 – 6:00pm in midtown Manhattan near Bryant Park. Sisterhood Academy! This class will focus on identity, leadership development, career and life options, healthy relationships, mental, physical, and emotional wellness, and creative self-expression. Using their own lives and experiences as a starting point, young women will examine their identities, explore their families and communities, and critically discuss issues facing young women. They will also build practical skills and knowledge on issues such as health, financial literacy, college awareness, stress management, job readiness. Through a variety of creative means (spoken word, art, and creative writing), they will also work to express their thoughts and disseminate their knowledge to their peers. Sisterhood Academy will meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 – 6:00pm in midtown Manhattan near Bryant Park. Leadership Scholars! This is a college support class for 11th graders. The group will focus on issues of educational justice and college readiness and college prep. The educational justice aspect of the c lass will examine such questions as: What makes a good school, and why aren’t all schools good? What is a “good education” and how can you fight for your right to one? Participants will also receive support, guidance, information around your own college plans and take a couple of college trips . Young people learn about what colleges are looking for, how to apply, what options to consider so they can begin the journey towards college today! Open to juniors only. Leadership Scholars will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 – 6:00pm in midtown Manhattan near Bryant Park. We are currently accepting applications for all three tracks. I have attached application forms that can be printed, or youth can apply online here. Applications are due on Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 and youth will be invited to a short interview session once we have reviewed their applications. We are also hosting Open Houses on Satur day, September 12 at 1:30 pm; Thursday, Sept ember 17 at 4pm; and Wednesday, Sept ember 217 at 4 pm in Midtown Manhattan at 4 West 43rd Street, Suite 502, New York, NY 10036. Youth must RSVP to attend the open houses here. We can also come to your school/site to conduct a brief presentation for youth, or participate in Fall after school fairs! Please contact us early for your event. There are no academic or skill criteria for admission into our programs. We look for young women who do not have other opportunities like Sadie Nash, who are interested in building a community with their peers and want to develop their leadership. Please contact me with any additional questions. You can reach me at 212.391.8664 or [email protected]. Thank you for your time and efforts in letting young women know about our programs; and most importantly, thank you for the work you do with young people in New York City! Sincerely, Leslie |

FOREST PROJECT SUMMER COLLABORATIVE
Spend an unforgettable summer working as part of a small crew protecting and improving Wave Hill’s woodlands, enjoying the outdoors and making friends. Take a free, college-level course in environmental science or basic mapping at CUNY’s Lehman College and earn credit.
June 26–August 15, 2014
• Mondays through Fridays, 9am–4pm
• College coursework is unpaid and takes place one day per week.
• Application deadline: March 23, 2014
Qualifications
• Currently enrolled in the 10th, 11th or 12th grade
• Interested in the urban environment
• Strong academic record, especially in the sciences
• Ready for rigorous fieldwork and academic study
Wages
• First-year interns earn $8.00/hr
• Second-year interns earn $8.25/hr
Program Description The Forest Project is one of Wave Hill’s signature programs. With more than 32 years of experience, Wave Hill offers a robust summer internship program for high school students that enables them to earn money while working to restore Wave Hill’s natural woodlands. The Forest Project gives students an unparalleled opportunity to learn about ecology in an urban setting, gain hands-on field experience and enroll in a tuition-free, college-level course at Lehman College. Throughout the summer, guest speakers, field trips and special projects contribute to an immersive and profoundly rewarding experience.
For seven weeks beginning in late June, Forest Project interns work together in small crews under the direction of an experienced crew leader. Together, each crew engages in restoration work in its assigned area. The work is demanding but rewarding—building woodland paths, removing invasive plant species, shoring up erosion controls and helping to restore disturbed woodlands to a more balanced state. Team-building activities build a strong, even passionate, sense of community and connection both to fellow interns and to the collective mission.
