Summer Leadership Institute

Providing Jobs, Job Training, and Critical Life Skills

Groundswell’s flagship program, The Summer Leadership Institute (SLI), is a summer job training program for up to 100 youth. Seven teams of youth spend seven weeks working with professional artists and community-based organizations, learning job skills and creating public art for their neighborhoods.

SLI also encompasses the final projects of both Voices Her’d Visionaries and Making His’tory, two of our afterschool leadership development programs.
