Student Attends Inspiring PEOPLE TO PEOPLE Program

Terrell Charles, a 7 th grader and member of the Gifford Youth Activity Center, attended a People to People World Leadership Forum in Washington D.C. "The program gave me a better perspective on our history and I really enjoyed the monuments, memorials, museums and all of the sites we visited," says Charles.

Charles, along with fellow delegates from around the world learned about leadership and how great leaders throughout history have handled world events. Various hands-on activities, professional speakers, workshops and visits to significant memorials, museums and monuments gave the students a new perspective on the importance and need for informed and passionate world leaders.

Charles was nominated for participation by his Gifford Middle School teacher Mrs. Vanhest.

The People to People World Leadership Forum offers students a unique blend of specialized educational, leadership and cultural exposure through a variety of programs, as well as an itinerary filled with the highlights of the hosting community. Charles had the opportunity to meet and become friends with other Student Leaders from around the world.

Participants in the People to People Program often experience life changing shifts in their attitudes toward individual and shared responsibilities, global leadership, and appreciation of cultural diversity. They return home with enhanced communication and problem solving skills and self-confidence.
