Cool Opportunity: Pole to Pole Leadership Institute

Pole to Pole is back!
In 2000, a international team of youth made a human-powered journey from the North Pole to the South Pole. Along the way they participated in projects for social change, gave lectures and inspired the lives of many.

In 2006 a new team of youth will make the journey, this time from the South Pole to the the North Pole. A quote from the site,

The purpose of Pole to Pole Journey 2 is larger than the journey itself. In addition to the Expedition Teams, international youth will be selected for both the Pole to Pole Advance Teams working with local, national and international charities on social, environmental and sustainable economic projects; and for the Pole to Pole Educational Ambassador Teams, teaching leadership and community involvement skills to world youth.

The Pole to Pole Expedition Teams, Advance Teams and Educational Ambassador Teams will raise the bar for world youth by challenging, training and inspiring them to become leaders in their communities and global citizens in their thinking. This journey is to set an example for youth around the world that they, like the Pole to Pole Teams, can take on huge challenges, and with training, personal leadership and perseverance, they will succeed.

Want to be a part of this amazing journey? Visit The Pole to Pole Leadership Institute. Ah, to be 25yrs old again!
