APPLY
TO THE
SUMMER INSTITUTE
The Summer Institute requires an initial commitment of six weeks. The summer
program lasts for six weeks from July 7 – August 15, 2008 Monday through Friday from 10:00am until 4:00pm (on Fridays, we have special events and the
hours are different). The Summer Institute is located in Manhattan. There
will be required pre-session orientation meetings in early June to prepare you
for the summer, and to provide an opportunity to meet staff and to get to know
each other. During the summer you and your peers will take interesting
classes, meet women involved in different forms of leadership, take workshops
on issues that are important to you, go on trips and explore your own and others’ leadership.
THE STIPEND
To help you cover your expenses (food and transportation) during the summer you will receive a stipend during the program for everyday that you are there ($10 for lunch, $4 for subway). You only receive the stipend when you are at the program because it covers those two direct costs that come with attendance.
ATTENDANCE
SNLP does not allow more than 3 absences during the summer program. If you have valid reasons for those absences (illness, family emergency) that you did not know about prior to the summer, we will let you return to the program the following summer. SNLP requires attendance for both the strength of the community and to enhance your experience. Also, at SNLP two late arrivals counts as an absence. Please contact us if you have more questions about these policies.
