Loft Program 2013
AG Bell is now accepting applications for LOFT, which is planned
for July 2013 in Los Angeles,California!
The Loft (Leadership Opportunities for Teens) Program is a
five-day program designed for teens withhearing loss to develop
skills in individual leadership teamwork, understanding group
dynamics andcommunication, public speaking, and self-advocacy. LOFT
is a great opportunity for high school and
college-bound teens interested in a leadership experience away
from home with their peers.
The program is structured in such a way that participants
increase their self-confidence and theirunderstanding of their own
strength and abilities through activities designed to challenge
them to push
beyond their comfort zone, while in a supportive environment.
LOFT counselors are AG Bell members
who are adults living with hearing loss.
