U-Lead Panama Preview #1

U-Lead Panama's goal is to work to inspire students involved in Operation Smile in Panama City to become leaders who are dedicated to helping others for the rest of their lives. We're extremely excited to go to Panama, but we still have about four days to go until we meet up in Atlanta, Georgia to fly together to Panama City. We can't wait to fill you in our progress while we're there. So here's a little sneak peak...

Day one of the conference will focus on what it means to be a "leader," emphasizing the pillars of Operation Smile Student Programs (leadership, education, awareness, and service) and elaborating on the many opportunities Student Programs has to offer. Since the U-Lead initiative is focused on growing the skills of already strong, dedicated high school leaders, the day will also be about empowering the participants by pushing them to plan and make their own presentations to the group. We know that each and every student who has taken time out of their busy schedule's to attend our conference is already interested in and willing to help Operation Smile, so we want to make sure they have the tools to spread the word and inspire waves of change.
