School at North Dakota Leadership Seminar June 5th -

For 40 years, North Dakota Leadership Seminar
(NDLS) has brought together some of North Dakota’s
most talented young people from across the state for a
life-changing experience. Throughout the weekend, stu—
dents are exposed to ideas about leadership, community
involvement, and volunteerism through interactive ses-
sions with business and community leaders from across
the state.
The eNDLeSs Academy provided these same oppor-
tunities as students participated in team building exer-
cises, Q&A with the young professional panel, and a
group service project.
Dana Altendorf, Seminar Chairperson shares, “N DLS
V is dedicated to teaching leadership and community serv—
ice skills to high school students. Our hope is that stu-
dents who attend NDLS leave with the tools they need to
go back into, their community and impact the world
around them. Each student who attends the program is
encouraged to go into their community, leverage their
leadership skills, and give back through service. We chal—
lenge all of our program alumni to donate 100 hours of
community service throughout the year.”
North Dakota Leadership Seminar, established in
1981, is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring
leadership skills and a spirit of volunteerism in the state’s
young people.
Every high school in the state is eligible to select a stu—
dent to attend the seminar free of charge. Organized by
volunteers, the seminar is financially supported by dona-
tions from businesses, service organizations, individuals,
and foundations from across the state.
