Join us for one of two dynamic summer leadership programs bringing Fort Worth students together with students from sister cities around the world!  This year’s theme, “Passport to Health”, will encourage students to explore and focus on health issues and its global influence.

The International Leadership Academy (ILA) for high school students and Jr. ILA are highly interactive programs.  Teachers and local international students serve as facilitators, working with students to discuss and creatively resolve global issues. Sister Cities has provided students this award-winning program since 1989. 

Benefits of attending:  

  • Enhance global leadership, communications, teamwork and problem solving skills
  • Learn about cultures, traditions and global diplomacy
  • Strengthen your global perspective and appreciation for other cultures
  • Enhance your college and career opportunities with this international experience
  • Develop lifelong friendships with students from seven countries without leaving Fort Worth!

There are also exciting home-hosting opportunities for families that would like to get involved. For more information on how you can home host an international student this summer, CLICK HERE.
