ALPS: Advancement, Leadership, Personal Growth, Service
Class XXVI Application

Picture
What is ALPS?
ALPS is an acronym for Advancement, Leadership, Personal Growth, and Service. Established in 1995 as Leadership Renaissance and rebranded in 2019 as ALPS, the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce uses this program to identify emerging leaders and expose them to the opportunities found here in North Little Rock. The program provides participants with a historical perspective of their community, familiarizes them with current issues, helps them to develop skills for effective leadership and fosters commitment to community involvement.

Who is eligible to participate?
ALPS is open to high school JUNIORS who live in North Little Rock and/or attend high school in North Little Rock. While there are no academic requirements, participates must be eligible under school guidelines to attend (4) one-hour virtual sessions.

What is the cost?
Tuition for the program is FREE.

What do the session topics include?

Session topics include leadership skills, social service, government, law, business and industry, financial literacy, and economic and community development. Sessions will include a mixture of speakers and presentations. All sessions will be conducted virtually. Students will interact with businesses and participate in a community-based service project.
 
What are the benefits of participating?

In addition to learning valuable skills, participants have opportunities to make contacts with business and community leaders that may be beneficial during job searches and other community activities after graduation. As students gain new awareness about local issues, they often discover ways to become more involved in community service. The Chamber of Commerce believes that ALPS also has long-term benefits to the community by identifying emerging leaders and encouraging their early involvement in community and civic affairs.
