LIFT stands for Leadership Information For Tomorrow and is the premier youth leadership program for high school students in Pamlico County. An innovative program of the Hodges Education Foundation since 2004, LIFT has a stellar reputation among current students and alumni of the program as providing a college-caliber experience that teaches valuable skills to be successful in a competitive employment market. If you want to be a STUDENT LEADER, join LIFT today!
The LIFT program has several main components:
The Fall Leadership Retreat is limited to 40 freshmen and sophomores and will be held September 26-29, 2013 at Camp Don Lee. This retreat is popular among students and explores topics such as personal leadership styles, social and dining etiquette, public speaking skills and conflict resolution. Weekly LIFT meetings at Pamlico High School during lunch or monthly 90-minute meetings at Arapahoe Charter School during last period are the core of the LIFT leadership experience. Students have the opportunity to interact with guest business and community leaders to discuss career options and leadership topics. Patterned after national leadership programs for executive professionals, LIFT provides day-long educational field trips that focus on experiencing various aspects of the community to enhance career and college exploration. The Youth in Philanthropy project involves students in deciding what community need to address, raising funds and then using the funds to make mini grants in Pamlico County to meet those needs. Youth in Philanthropy gives students a hands-on experience in giving back to their community.
The LIFT program is available to all Pamlico County high school-aged students (public, private, charter and home-schooled). LIFT is not a "club" but rather a nine-month-long training program available for motivated and dedicated students.
