The iBELIEVE in Student Leadership Fund supports Appalachian youth in developing critical leadership, communication and problem solving skills. The Fund is currently focused on providing scholarship support to enable high school student participation in the Ohio Association of Student Councils (OASC) summer leadership camp. Participating in this camp can be life-changing and enables students to gain the necessary soft skills and leadership training critical to current and future success.
“When I first started my journey with the iBELIEVE OASC camp I was nervous and excited. I had been to other leadership conferences, but OASC is above all the rest. Not only did it give me skills on being an excellent leader in a fun way, it helped you come to an understanding of who you truly are. I met so many great people and made many lifelong friends. OASC provided me with so many memories that I will cherish forever. If I could relive those five days, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would do it again. I would recommend this program to anybody who’s interested. It was hands down the highlight of my summer. Hopefully I have more great experiences with OASC. It’s a pro- gram where you can cut yourself off from everyday problems, relax and be yourself. The quote “This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment; As I look around; I can’t believe all the love I see.” is what I heard every day and I couldn’t agree more. That quote fit my OASC experience to a T.” – Rachel Payne, Meigs HS (Meigs County) – Class of 2013
