Can 60 high school students change the world?

Follow us this year to find out how!  On October 2-3 LearnServe International welcomed its fifth — and largest — cohort of LearnServe Fellows at our kickoff retreat in West Virginia.  The 60 LearnServe Fellows in the class of 2010-11 represent a diverse range of 26 public, private, and charter high schools in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

This select group of students, nominated by their schools and invited to join through a competitive process, will spend the year designing and launching social “ventures,” action projects to address the problems that matter to them most.  Along the way they will learn from leading non-profit organizations and socially responsible business in the DC area, and develop a wide range of business, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills.

Stay tuned to follow the progress of our LearnServe Fellows and alumni!
