Community Scholars is a youth leadership development internship program that provides public policy and economic development research opportunities for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors and college students. The summer program began in 1998 and operates under Community Scholars, Inc., a non-profit corporation.
The vision is to develop regional community leaders. The future of the Paso del Norte region hinges on the ability of those who live in it to collaborate on solutions to the problems that challenge us all. Therefore, local leaders will have to think beyond state and international boundaries in ways they never have before. In coming years, we hope to forge a technological and personal connection among the future leaders of this region by developing summer programs in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and Las Cruces, New Mexico. |
