During the past twenty-two years the Inland empire Future Leaders Program (IEFL) has provided summer leadership development programs for more than 2,800 Latino eighth- and ninth-grade students from throughout the Inland empire. The week-long sessions include training in the leadership process, parliamentary procedure, cultural awareness, college preparation, career choices, citizenship responsibilities, and public speaking. The sessions are dynamic, intensive and fun filled, but more important, we constantly encourage students to strive for academic excellence and to contribute to their schools and community through personal involvement. Four-year follow-up surveys have indicated that the leadership experience leaves a lasting impression and th at it does indeed effectively and positively influence the students. The surveys also indicate a 99 percent high school graduation and a 90 percent college-going rate for students participating in the program. Future Leaders is a non-profit, tax exempt 501(C)(3)#33-042-7453 organization which consists of a 100 percent volunteer staff. All expenses to date have been paid through donations from individuals and organizations. There are no frills in our program. We "make do" and "cut corners" whenever possible. Those of us on staff give of our time and many, many other volunteers of their talents, for example, nurses, instructors, workshop leaders, etc...
