10th to 12th Graders in the fall of 2018.

FAST Academy participants will develop leadership and professional skills including: interviewing, professional communication, conflict resolution, time management, organization, public speaking, and more.  All of these skills can help with college, scholarship, and job applications.  Participants will also learn how to be effective as Junior Camp Staff and youth mentors.

This week of training equips the participants with the biblical truths of servant leadership, preparing them to lead both at Aldersgate and the outside world.  Some participants are asked at the conclusion of the week long training to return to Aldersgate throughout the summer. They then work and continue learning and growing alongside a mentor from our Senior Staff.

Many Junior Staff use their hours of volunteering to meet community service requirements for school, scholarship applications, and more.
