Student Leadership Series events in Arlington, TX

Over 4,200 students and educators attended Student Leadership Series (SLS) events held at six junior high schools including: Hutcheson, Workman, Carter, Ferguson, Ousley, and Barnett.  The tour was organized in partnership with the General Motors Foundation and the Arlington Independent School District. USHLI is very grateful to the GM and Arlington ISD team for organizing this highly successful tour.
 
The featured speakers were the Cuban Guy and Jimmy Cabrera, two of the top motivational speakers in the nation and favorites 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.  The program will serve to motivate students at all grade levels and college, train parents, and help educators expand their cultural competencies.  An estimated 17,356 have been served to date in 5 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.
