Recommending Students
The Leadership Center is a year round residential campus offering a university curriculum focused on leadership development and business. All classes are taught in English; most professors are from the U.S. Because students come without English skills, the first months are intensive English classes. For all classes, the student teacher ratio is normally 4 to 1. This is an advanced level education for capable students who are highly motivated.
For a student to be considered for acceptance into The Leadership Center (TLC), they need to be recommended by a Peace Corps Volunteer, NGO or charity personnel in Honduras.
Recommenders need to personally know the student, her abilities, family and character. Recommenders are integral to the success of TLC. Without good recommendations, we can not succeed at our mission of offering a high level university education for under privileged Honduran women.
Ideally we want those making recommendations to be involved with the student throughout her education by staying in touch via email, phone or personal visits. For example, if the student is struggling in some way, we’d like the recommender to know of that situation and offer encouragement to the student and to communicate with the family of the student. In other words we see the recommenders as an important part of the student-family-TLC team.
