Why LookUp?
Through Look Up To Cleveland, you’ll make unique connections in Cleveland, see first-hand some of the projects stimulating progress, meet people driving that change and develop close bonds with other young leaders.
During LookUp, you will:
- Improve your interpersonal skills through focused team-based activities and a group capstone project.
- Understand the importance of diversity and work with students from various ethnic, economic and social backgrounds.
- Interact with local business, government and community leaders.
