STRiVE 2021 Applications due SUNDAY 11/15 at 11:59 PM UMBC’s student leadership for social impact retreat

UMBC’s annual STRiVE retreat has inspired hundreds of undergraduate students in the past 12 years. Now it's your turn. Spend five days building community and developing skills while exploring leadership for social impact. You will emerge with greater clarity and confidence about the contributions you want to make.

This year’s STRiVE retreat will take place virtually from January 11-15, 2021. STRiVE participants develop friendships; discover their strengths and values, learn how to work more effectively in groups; envision contributions they could make at UMBC; engage issues relating to identity, privilege, and systemic oppression; and tackle both simulated and real leadership and social change challenges. Past STRiVE participants have gotten deeply involved in campus organizations and initiatives, and have made phenomenal contributions. More than 700 students have completed the program and have given it outstanding reviews.

To apply for a spot in STRiVE 2021, complete this form by Sunday, November 15, 2020. 

UMBC’s Center for Democracy and Civic Life hosts STRiVE in partnership with the Student Government Association, with support from PNC Bank. More information on this program is available below.

“It has been an experience of enlightenment. I’ve been on similar retreats, but they didn’t have the same impact as STRiVE. I loved every second of it, even the hard moments.”

STRiVE: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to be an “involved” student to attend STRiVE?

Absolutely not. STRiVE will be helpful to any student regardless of previous involvement or leadership experience. No prior experience is necessary. We are looking for a diverse group of students committed to developing their leadership skills and applying them to create positive change in the campus community. The application asks about campus involvement only to give the STRiVE planning team a sense of the different perspectives participants will bring to the retreat.

 

When is STRiVE?

STRiVE takes place in January during UMBC’s Winter Break. STRiVE 2021 will take place January 11-15, 2021.

 

Where will STRiVE take place?

STRiVE 2021 will take place virtually.

 

How much does it cost to participate?

UMBC covers most of the cost of each participant’s attendance. Participants pay a $25 fee that helps cover some of the cost of materials. However, we do not intend that this fee be a barrier to participation. Every participant will have the opportunity to request financial assistance.

 

When is the application due?
