Each summer, Focus the Nation selects and funds 20 rising clean energy leaders from across the country to spend one week together on Oregons iconic Mt. Hood: 5 students from each of our Collaboration Quadrants of Technicians, Innovators, Politicos, and Storytellers.
These 20 ReCharge! Delegates viscerally experience an area of the country where energy is accelerating toward renewables. Transitioning your community and campus toward renewables takes guts. It takes smarts. It means bringing people together that don't always get along. And it takes new kinds of dedication and commitment because it doesn't happen over night. In a highly collaborative environment, each class of ReCharge!
Delegates explores this deeper set of skills that they will need to stay committed to clean energy throughout the entirety of their careers.
Upon returning home to their campus communities, FTN continues to support each class of Delegates as they strive to put what they learned on the mountain to use on the ground.
The main objectives of the Summer Legal Institute are to inspire diverse students to enter the legal profession, convince them that this profession is attainable, and assist them in college admission and preparation. In addition to these goals, the JTBF Scholars also take away other skills. The mock trial gives the student public speaking experience in front of an actual judge or attorney, and the lessons in basic legal research provide the student with a familiarity certain to be applicable and helpful in a college curriculum. At the end of the day, the SLI endeavors to give the students the resources and confidence to pursue a post-secondary education and beyond. http://www.jtbf.org/index.php?submenu=Summer_Legal_Institute&src=gendocs&ref=SummerLegalInstitute&category=Main

WHAT IS ACAP?
The Accounting Career Awareness Program (ACAP) was created to heighten the awareness of accounting
and business career opportunities among minority youths in the public and private school systems. ACAP
is designed to increase the number of minorities pursuing careers in accounting and related business areas.
Since a particularly small percentage of African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans are currently
pursing those career paths; the program emphasizes recruiting students from these and other minority
backgrounds. Through ACAP's efforts, participating students receive the educational enrichment experiences
and practical help they need to prepare for university-level programs. Students are selected based on a
variety of factors, including high school counselor recommendations and academic achievement. Student
applicants should have taken at least the PSAT, the SAT or ACT as one of the qualifying factors.
WHAT IS CISCAP?
CISCAP is an intensive one-week residential program for rising high school seniors who have
an interest in computers, business, or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) discipline.
This enriching week is FREE of charge for selected students and provides exposure to the possible
range of careers in Information Systems, as well as an opportunity to attend college preparatory
classes. The goal of CISCAP is to encourage and assist high school students from under-represented
minority ethnic groups to attend college and consider selecting Computer Information Systems
as a possible major. The program introduces students to Howard University and to careers and
opportunities available in the field of Information Systems. CISCAP provides students with an
opportunity to do activities which include attending modules in web design, software applications and
cyber-security awareness; work on team projects; tour the Howard University Campus as well as visit
a local technology firm.
The program will include presentations (modules and panel discussions) from various
professionals representing a range of companies. These professionals will exemplify and discuss/
teach about the skills needed to pursue Information Systems careers such as theirs.
