Leadership Training
Leadership Training (LT) is a chance to spend a summer on a mission to grow closer to God and to reach out to those around you. It’s a 10-week program in Virginia Beach where you’ll be experiencing training in all areas:
Life – You’ll be living in beach condos with 8 other LTers just a block from the Atlantic Ocean and within biking distance to work. You’ll also be learning how to budget, shop for food, and cook all while living with your roommates.
Evangelism – You’ll learn how to share the gospel both in actions and in words.
Job Experience – You will have full-time jobs at hotels (where together you can reach out to your co-workers), or you can get your own internship in the area.
Character – You’ll learn how to be an example for others to follow.
Virginia Beach LT 2011:
Who’s Going: There are many schools joining our school at Virginia Beach LT this year including Ball State University, Iowa State, University of Illinois, Illinois State, and Bowling Green University.
When: May 21st-July 30th.
Cost: The total cost for LT is $1999 plus your registration cost. The cost includes all your food for the summer, housing, cost for speakers, outreach events, etc. There is a payment plan set in place, so the entire cost is not all due at the beginning of LT. You can support raise for your LT cost for the summer.
Work: We are providing you with a 40-hour a week job or you can arrange for your own internship in the Virginia Beach area (if you are looking for an internship, you will just need to make sure that you ask off for our weekly project day- usually people doing internships will work four 10-hour workdays).
Registration: If you register by Feb. 15th the registration cost is $25, by March 15th it’s $50, and by the final registration deadline of April 15th it’s $75. Register for Virginia Beach LT here: http://www.gcmlt.org/
