Over 7,000 Students and Educators Attend Student Leadership Series Events in New Jersey

An estimated 7,835 students and educators attended USHLI Student Leadership Series (SLS) events held in Jersey City and Passaic, New Jersey.  USHLI is very grateful for the leadership and cooperation provided by administrators at each high school and middle school that hosted an event. 

The featured speaker was The Cuban Guy, one of the top motivational speakers in the nation and a favorite among students of all ages from middle school to college.   

The SLS is USHLI's flagship youth program.  Our goal in 2014 is to serve 200,000 students, parents, and educators in 30 states and help Create a Culture of Education.  The program is designed to motivate students to improve their academic performance, graduate and pursue some level of post-secondary education.  An estimated 43,136 have been served to date this year in 8 states. 

The SLS program focuses on Stay-in-School Rallies for middle school students, Career & College Recruitment Fairs for high school students, Regional Leadership Summits for college students, Leadership Training for parents and Professional Development for educators.
