“Si, se puede!” has been the message of the Latino Leadership and College Experience Camp (LLCEC) hosted and coordinated by the Bluegrass Community and Technical College Office of Hispanic/Latino Student Outreach and Support Services since its creation in 2006. This program is the only intensive college preparation summer camp and empowerment program designed for Latino, immigrant and/or ESL students all across the state of Kentucky. Since 2006, 131 Latino, first-generation college and/or ESL students have participated in this free program.
The LLCEC is supported by the Bluegrass Community and Technical College Department of Multiculturalism and Inclusion and is made possible by grant funds and community donations. The camp directors, volunteer staff, college student mentors, and 2010 LLCEC Interns have begun the planning process for this year’s event and are eager for the new participants to arrive in July. Currently 36 new participants and 8 returning LLCEC graduates are signed up to come representing 15 Kentucky communities from Lexington to Louisville to Bowling Green to Florence to Monticello and many many more.
We are looking for passionate instructors willing to teach a college-style course during the week of the camp (July 26-29). Instructors are asked to give 1 hour and 15 minutes twice a week on either a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday time frame just like during a regular college semester. Seminar style courses (2 hours and 30 minutes) once a week are also an option however space is limited.
Please fill out the survey to specify the times, days and subject matter most preferred. Help us impact the futures of the 45 amazing participants. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LLCECInstructorSurvey
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this program.
