Leadership Greater Hartford received a $2,400 sponsorship award from Aetna in support of four youth to attend their Summer Nexus youth leadership development program.

This week-long program, offered in two different sessions each summer, helps young adults develop leadership skills that will help them make an impact in their schools and communities. Coming from both urban and suburban schools, Summer Nexus participants build new bonds of trust and friendship through an interactive curriculum and by planning and implementing a community-focused service project.
