Leadership Through Service

You’ve learned all about Washington University, but what is St. Louis about? Leadership Through Service offers a rare opportunity to explore the St. Louis community while acclimating to college life.

LTS includes daily community service projects, leadership training fascinating speakers and discussions, and memories for a lifetime. The schedule is full and at the end of the day you will feel accomplished, inspired, and eager for another day of fun, powerful conversations, and memorable experiences. 90 new students join a student staff of sophomores and juniors who loved LTS so much they decided to come back and pave the way for the next generation of participants.

By the end of LTS, you will have seen the “real” St. Louis, broadened and deepened your understanding of pressing social justice issues, built a network of like-minded friends, and gained a solid connection to the Community Service Office and opportunities for continued involvement throughout the year.

If you choose to join us for the LTS adventure, plan to bring grubby clothes because you might be doing yardwork, painting, or other community service projects that require you to get your hands dirty! As the schedule notes, you should also plan to bring spending money for two meals out with your small group that are “pay your own way” (we recommend planning for $15 per meal). Also, be sure to sign up for your U-Pass, as we'll be traveling via MetroLink on the last day of the program!

Be sure to visit the LTS website (http://www.communityservice.wustl.edu/lts/) to view the tentative schedule, photos, and thoughts on LTS from past participants.

Join the fun as the city becomes your classroom! “In short, LTS was an incredible, invaluable experience that laid a solid framework for my life on campus and my outlook on what is truly important in the world.” (Stacey Galvez, ’07)
