Future World Leaders Unite This Summer!

The AYUSA World Leaders program is a three week summer program bringing together high school students from around the world who are interested in sharing ideas and participating in activities centered around global leadership.

This year’s curriculum offers students the opportunity to study Environmental Leadership at the University of California at Berkeley. Through renowned guest speakers, class discussions and relevant field trips, this course will explore three important topics affecting the environment today: Global Warming/Climate Change, Environmental Design, and Human Population.

The goal of this course is to prepare students to become leaders in an increasingly inter-connected world where one country’s actions can affect the entire globe. At the conclusion of the AYUSA World Leaders program, all students will have the opportunity to showcase an environmentally-focused project of their choosing to government officials in the State Capitol.
