How has your experience with LTS benefited you and your community? What have you learned about yourself from this experience?
"I am studying at UWM to become a earth science teacher, and this experience helped me get a sense of what I have to look forward to in the future. This project also helped me become aware of the importance of water, and how much we take water for granted. I have learned that I have chosen the right career for myself. I love having the ability to show young minds the importance of science, and how they have the ability to change the future for the better." - Molly B., St. Joan Antida Youth Water Website Project
"This experience is one I would enjoy doing again and again. Being a project manager for the mural group wasn't easy at times. I learned that Waukesha South's student body is extremely diverse and are having some issues within the student body. Segregation is a huge problem, & diversity is not being celebrated among the student body. These students have taught me so much during our discussions. I got exactly what I was looking to get out of my time working with these students. I wanted to learn from their experiences as well as share knowledge I have learned myself through my higher education." - Taylor M., Diversity Mural
Lead to Succeed is an industry-driven youth leadership development program in which college students mentor a team of high school students in a service learning project that addresses needs identified by local non-profit organizations. Each project is also connected to in-demand career fields. Students awaken their inner leader, sharpen their community engagement skills, and plan for their future while designing and executing each unique, high-impact service learning project.
