Project C.A.L. 24

OCAPICA is looking for 24 high school students to participate in a program called Project C.A.L. 24 . Project C.A.L (Cultural Artistic Leadership) 24 (meaning 24 participants) is a 12-week course beginning February 6, 2006 and end on April 5, 2006, where participants will be introduced to various community leaders and organizations, learn strong leadership and organizational life skills, and is a great way to prepare for college. All applicants must be of high school age and must fully complete the application by the January 29th deadline.

Project C.A.L. 24 has two main group projects:
• To create and publish a youth magazine.
• To run a youth event called “The Lounge”.

Participants will also be involved with various community organizations such as UCI, Project Hope School and many others.

This is a great opportunity for chance to network with other high schools, build their personal resume, and most of all make a difference in the community.

If you know of any students in your youth club that would be interested in participating, you can contact Vicky Ojerio at (714) 636-9095 x 207, or email at vojerio@ocapica.org . Applications can be downloaded off at http://www.ocapica.org/documents/ProjectCAL24Application_000.pdf
