Not your “typical summer camp,” Project RESPECT Youth Leadership Institute
is a week-long residential summer program that provides rising freshman,
sophomores, juniors, or seniors (14-19 years old) with a unique opportunity to
live and interact with a diverse group of students who come together to build a
community based on inclusivity, respect, and understanding.
This year’s program will be held June 21st - June 26th. Round-trip transportation from Providence is provided. Financial aid is available.
Held annually, Project RESPECT gives participants an experiential education in
leadership grounded in social justice issues. High school students from diverse
geographic, socioeconomic, cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds come as
advocates from their schools, places of worship, and other community institutions
and organizations. Participants take on important social issues facing our
communities, and work together to create solutions for our future. This leadership
institute is intense, engaging, and, many would say, life changing.
