The NextGen Leadership Institute

Spend a summer at Barnard College in New York City! The NextGen Leadership Institute is for curious and passionate high school students who want to engage with complex topics and explore leadership, all through a feminist lens. As a student in the NextGen Leadership Institute, you’ll take a course within one of our four tracks — STEM, writing and literature, global humanities, or art, movement, and performance. You’ll see what leadership in action looks like, while developing your own leadership skills, with the support of Barnard’s Athena Center for Leadership. And you’ll get to explore New York City alongside your peers and program leaders.
