For six weeks this summer, teens throughout our community will participate in Renz Center's Leadership And Development (LEAD) program. This unique program gives teens the tools to lead alcohol, tobacco, and drug-free lives while also strengthening their leadership and healthy decision-making skills. The program concludes with leadership training at the Cebrin Goodman Teen Institute in Charleston, IL.
LEAD is open to any Elgin teen that will be entering 7th-12th grade during the 2018-2019 school year. Camp activities include:
Substance abuse prevention education
Giving back to the community through volunteerism
College visits
Field trips
Career day and exploration
Swimming
LEAD is June 11-July 19, Monday thru Thursday. Drop off times vary depending on the day's activities. The Cebrin Goodman Teen Institute is July 22-26, 2018.
Forty teens are accepted into the LEAD program, and it's on a first come first serve basis.
