The Capital Area Student Leadership program encourages students to become active, effective participants and leaders in their schools and community.
This year’s group of 25 was announced in January, and last month the CASL students took part in a communications day, where they each answered a few questions from program organizers. (The answers from the 13 other student leaders appeared in the April 11 Insider.)
During the course of this year’s program, students enjoyed quality interaction with the likes of Gov. Chris Sununu, Executive Councilor Chris Pappas, Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin, radio personality Arnie Arnesen, WMUR news anchor and political reporter Adam Sexton, Capital Center for the Arts Executive Director Nikki Clark and Red River Theatres Executive Director Angie Lane, along with other community leaders. Rock On Foundation Founder and Executive Director Luke Bonner was the guest speaker at graduation day on March 22.
The goals of CASL are:
To recruit sophomores from area high schools (Bishop Brady, Bow, Concord Christian, Concord, Derryfield School, Hopkinton, John Stark, Merrimack Valley, Parker Academy, Pembroke Academy and Pittsfield) who show leadership potential and young adults likely to assume greater community responsibilities. The CASL program has graduated more than 500 students over the last two decades.
To inspire students to develop, refine and utilize their leadership skills in order to contribute to the greater Concord community.
To educate students about local issues through the perspective of community leaders.
To demonstrate problem-solving methods when dealing with opportunities and challenges within the greater Concord community.
To create a dialogue and develop a network among the students and local leaders.
To encourage students to recognize and develop leadership styles, skills and roles.
