Experiential Learning for Life
InSite is an International youth leadership program designed to enrich secondary education and/or fulfill learning outcomes or competencies which demonstrate student initiation, service learning, personal leadership development, team work, resourcefulness, and good citizenship (both local and global). Students will participate in training sessions, fundraise, and travel to South Africa as part of the learning experience.
Learning today must be experiential and connect real life with what is done in a classroom setting. InSite gives students the opportunity to apply what they have learned and create ways to empower others living in at-risk conditions. These cross cultural experiences increase engagement in becoming a life long learner as they see the importance of being informed and the results of not having a solid education. Having spent nearly a full year in service learning, it prepares a strong foundation for a life long desire to volunteer and contribute as the students receive a strong sense of fulfillment and happiness while serving others.
InSite reminds us that relationships are at the heart of any successful program, project, initiative, or work. Learning to be a person who sees the value in others, who will take the initiative and stand up for what is just and right, someone who is comfortable with taking risks and thinking differently is desperately needed in our world today. These are the kinds of people universities and employers want. These are the qualities we strive for in InSite.
