Program Directors

Program Directors are typically senior staff members who have extensive experience with MLW programs. They are selected by the Program Committee. Each year, a Program Director builds on the successes of prior years and bring fresh and relevant ideas, styles, and curricular objectives to the program. We are excited to announce our 2025 Summer Program Directors.

  • Advanced Leadership Seminar: Nicholas Schmitz
  • Middle School Experience in Leadership: DeJuan Woods Jr. and Lannon Fritts
  • Senior High Workshop: Diane D’Costa and Kelen Chen
  • Staff Recruitment/Training Coordinator: Justin Smith

Programs are staffed at a 1:7 staff to delegate ratio. Programs have an independent evaluator to ensure program quality.
