URI High School Leadership Week is a daytime program occurring from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Students must commute to and from the program each day.
Since this is our program’s first year and school will be in session for our regular students, we’re unfortunately unable to offer on-campus housing at this time for the program. However, we’d be happy to assist your family in finding local accommodations to ensure your student can attend the program.
