Bringing the internship to you.
The Leadership Initiatives Virtual Youth Development Programs bring the collaborative spirit and engaging hands-on experience to the safety of a virtual platform. With a 5:1 student to staff ratio and small class sizes, students interact directly and frequently with expert guest speakers and their staff mentor, both in lecture and virtual breakout rooms.
Leadership Initiatives believes that building a relationship with interns is a critical component to ignite a student's love of learning and set them on a path for success during college and in their career. Students will know that a real, caring person is working with them to complete their internship, and this support and personal guidance can be the difference between success and failure for some students.
Join us this summer to transform lives around the world, all from the safety and comfort of a virtual environment.
Our curriculum is designed to give students a sense of ownership and responsibility to ensure a fulfilling & meaningful experience. Alongside interactive lectures and expert breakout rooms, students meet with congressional officials, skype with business owners in the developing world, watch live brain scans, diagnose real patients using VR technology, and practice sutures with professional kits.
We do more than video lectures and breakout rooms. See how we keep students engaged.
Starting on June 1st, participants meet with a staff member that will guide them through the program and be there every step of the way. Using texts, emails, video, and phone calls, staff will ensure that participants are confident in what they have learned and ready to apply it to their internship.

We utilize LMS software to encourage accountability and implement gamification to provide intrinsic motivators like points, digital badges, and interactive educational games. Frequent activities, breakout rooms, and competitions with prizes ranging from gift cards to additional academic benefits motivate students for attendance and participation while utilizing the best virtual technology in education.
