For nearly 20 years, students from around the state have come together to be immersed in leadership activities
and simulations led by civic, business and education leaders at LEADERSHIP IN PRACTICE, a statewide

The LEADERSHIP IN PRACTICE program was developed by the Missouri Chamber Foundation to engage
Missouri high school students in hands on, real world leadership training. The program is divided into five
areas: global leadership, civic leadership, economic leadership, ethical leadership and personal leadership. The
key to the training is that students learn by participating in small group discussions, activities and simulations.
The students are mentored by experienced business, civic and education leaders from across the state, imparting
real world knowledge to help guide their development during the forum. Students evaluate their leadership
skills based on what they learn and then set goals on how to improve those skills during the rest of their
High School career.
The 2016 LEADERSHIP IN PRACTICE program is set for June 26-29, 2016.
The application period will run from JANUARY 1, 2016 to APRIL 1, 2016. Please save the date and look for
future information at the first of the year on this solid youth leadership opportunity for some
of your freshmen. For more information please visit our website http://mochamber.com/workforce/leadershipin-practice/

SAME Summer Camp-Fort Leonard Wood
Each summer, the Society of American Military Engineers, in collaboration with the Military Components,
sponsors a series of engineering/STEM camps designed for High School students who excel in math, science
and technical courses and are interested in pursuing engineering in college. These week-long camps are high
intensity, fun-filled, hands–on events where students from across the country and around the world can learn
about engineering and related fields, as well as leadership. Each camp is somewhat distinct due to location and
the sponsoring military service. The camps are run by a cadre of professional engineers from both private
industry and the military services who volunteer their time and experience to give students an incredible
opportunity to explore new horizons.
If you are interested, your first step is to determine if you are eligible and then go through the application
process for the camp you select. The start point is http://www.same.org/STEMCAMPS.
The Fort Leonard Wood post is willing to sponsor a student which means we will pay half of the $580
registration fee and your airfare to the camp.
