10. Why change the location and format of the summer project? With the increase in summer obligations such as internships, summer classes and responsibilities at home, we wanted to create a context where students could start their summer well spiritually and still give time to these commitments. We believe that students are still able to get the experience of a traditional eight-week summer leadership training program in a three week intensive style summer training program.
