"MLW, Maryland's premier provider of leadership training, consistently empowers youth to exercise leadership within their schools and communities and achieve success in all facets of their lives."
-- Dr. Nancy S. Grasmick, Maryland State Superintendent
of Schools
"Maryland Leadership Workshops were enriching for me in all ways. I made
friends that lasted, and learned principles that endure. I am lucky to have
been among such a remarkable group of people, and treasure the experience to
this day."
-- Scott Simon, "Weekend Edition Saturday" Host, National Public Radio
"Dear (Middle School Experience in Leadership staffers) Monet, Jackie, Mike and Doug,
"Thank you all so much for your hard work, determination, kindness, patience, postive roles in our lives and above all, your leadership skills. You guys helped make this camp so enjoyable for me and for everyone else that it was hard to say goodbye. Thank you for not giving up on us when it came to working together and making sure that we always evaluate the finished product so that we can learn from our mistakes. You guys have helped me to learn to trust my group by having do that walk with blind folds and playing games. You were also there for me if I needed you -- which was nice because it meant I had someone to talk to. Jackie and Monet, you two spoiled me and all the Olympians (a MSEL 2004 group) girls rotten beacuse half of us are complaining that we will not get our good night hugs anymore."
Much love,
Camille H., 2004 MSEL delegate
"I wanted to let you know just how grateful we are for the MLW program. Josh M. is our son and, though we have not even had a chance to really sit down with him and find out all that he experienced, it shows in all he is doing and taking on.
"After coming home, he decided that he would go ahead and take the "manager" position with the football team. Then, after talking to the coach, found that they needed a videographer for the games and he asserted himself to get that job.
"On top of that, he has renewed interest in getting into the Merchant Marine Academy, as well as trying hard to work out to that, perhaps, he can get on the football team next year as a player.
"He also decided to meet on Monday evenings with some of the youth in our church to learn how to play the guitar and learn to play in front of people. We have been trying to get him to do this for at least a year.
"We have always been proud of him, but with this newfound confidence, it is exciting to watch him bloom.
"Thanks for your hard work and diligence with these future leaders of Maryland and, perhaps, our nation."
Ann Wiseman, parent of a Senior High Workshop delegate
"I just wanted to drop a note and thank the MLW staff for all their hard work
during 1999. That was my first year at any MLW workshop and I was really
impressed with what I found. This program is a real jewel and there is
nothing like it. Thank you for changing my life!!!"
-- Lauren M. Wolf, a 1999 SHW delegate
"I just wanted to take the time to say that my kids Terri and Heather M. and their cousin Taylor M.,came home exceeding the expectations that I had for them to achieve. They are already looking foward to next year. Thank you and God bless you and the workers at the camp."
"MLW is a program that has helped me develop as an individual through intellect and friendship."
-- John R., Advanced Leadership Seminar 2002 delegate
"MLW was fun because I made lots of new friends and I learned I can be anyone I choose to be. I now feel confident and secure about who I am."
-- Jordan B., MSEL 2002 delegate
"MLW is one of the best investments I've made in my son's education. His growth through MLW was remarkable."
-- Cheol Park, parent of a MSEL participant
"The week I spent at MLW will forever have an impact on my life. I learned how to become a better leader and a better human being. I was introduced to a number of unique and special people that I will never forget"
-- Lillian G., SHW 2002 delegate
