What does it mean to be a part of NLC?
The National Leadership Council provides opportunities for young people to discover and explore their interests, values, and talents in a spiritual atmosphere. Teens experience programs that help them deepen their relationship with God, activities that stress the healing effectiveness of Christian Science, leadership training built on a Biblical model of service to God and mankind, and leadership opportunities at the local, national, and international levels.
NLC is accepting applications from current 8th graders for the Class of 2016. If you know of any students who may be interested, please invite them to find out more about the NLC program and the application process. The application deadline is Oct. 10, 2011.
Did you know…
One of NLC’s core curriculum requirements is a two-week service trip during the student’s Junior year in high school. For the past two years, NLC classes have traveled to Peru to help citizens in rural areas become self-sustaining. We encourage you to read their blogs and view the videos documenting how these young Christian Scientists are loving and giving beyond boarders. Combined, these classes donated thousands of hours of community service.
