The Harvard Student Agencies is proud to host INSPIRED – The High School Fall Leadership in Business Program. It is an intensive day designed to train high school students in the fundamentals of business leadership. Originally held exclusively for Harvard Summer School students, the success of the initial program led to the expansion of this year’s program to allow highly motivated students from other schools to participate. The program targets high school seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who wish to enlarge their knowledge on leadership concepts and values.
Facilitated by Harvard College students, Harvard Business School graduates, campus leaders, and established entrepreneurs, the program is structured to provide leadership skills relevant both in and outside school. In the past, the program has featured workshops given by the Harvard Student Agencies, the Leadership Institute at Harvard College, the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiations, and the Harvard Business School Social Entrepreneurship Initiative to provide crucial leadership skills to participants.
The FLP will be held on Saturday, December 5th. The FLP is open to all high school students.
