MLW participants experience tremendous growth as they learn about themselves and others, and become inspirited and motivated to achieve, succeed, and exercise leadership.

MLW, a nonprofit organization that has presented leadership development programs for over 50 years, is again offering a weeklong leadership program this summer on the campus of Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. MLW, in collaboration with the Maryland State Department of Education, will be offering the Middle School Experience in Leadership (MSEL) program for middle school students (entering Grades 6–8); the Senior High Workshop (SHW) for high school students (entering Grades 9–12) ; and the Advanced Leadership Seminar (ALS) (students who have previously completed the Senior High Workshop, a high school leadership class, or an equivalent educational experience).

Early-Bird Discount Action by: May 1, 2009 - The programs are weeklong and residential. The MLW early-bird tuition requires complete registration (including all required medical forms) and payment by May 1, 2009. The early-bird tuition for MSEL and SHW is $550 ($595 after May 1, 2008). The tuition for ALS is $595 at all times. Transportation to and from the college is the responsibility of the student and his/her family.
