National Teen Leadership Program Announces New Executive Director and $15,000 in Camp and College ScholarshipsThe National Teen Leadership Program (NTLP) is proud to announce the selection of Ms. Jennifer Lopez as its new Executive Director. Ms. Lopez will fill the vacancy created by Laura Segura, who retired last year after 23 years as head of the non-profit. "I am thrilled to hand over the torch to such a wonderful and capable person," said Ms. Segura. "Jennifer not only has a background as a successful meeting planner, fund developer and community outreach director, she also embodies everything that makes NTLP so unique and special. She is an extremely warm and caring person who personifies NTLP's mission, vision and core values." NTLP is also announcing $15,000 in college scholarships and camp assistance. "NTLP will award two $2,500 College Scholarships to qualifying individuals who attend our northern or southern California programs this summer and complete a year-long community service project," announces Ms. Lopez. "In addition, NTLP has set aside $10,000 to help students-in-need attend the summer programs, which are open to all students in grades 8 - 12."

Through professional speakers, interactive workshops and business interviews, NTLP inspires and prepares teens to reach their full potential as future leaders. As a certified Presidential Volunteer Service Award organization NTLP is privileged to award students for their outstanding achievements for volunteer service. "NTLP was a huge catalyst in allowing me to understand who I was, what type of impact I could have on others' lives, and was a major motivational force in my life," said Edgar Wong-Chen, a 1996 NTLP alumnus and Board Chair. "Each summer allowed me to truly test my own leadership ability in a platform where I could feel comfortable and engage with my peers." Literally hundreds of alumni are still engaged with the program and this year, NTLP welcomes five attendees who are children of NTLP alumni, a telling fact for NTLP Founder, Laura Segura. "This speaks directly to the success of the program," notes Segura. "We have helped inspire and motivate teens to take leadership roles in life, and many have chosen not only to give back, but to entrust us with their own children."
