Ten MANS junior and senior high students who participated in the Oct-May leadership training initiative created by Tsholo Sebetlela, school chaplain and Maskwacis pastor, applied and interviewed for positions on the 13-year old seasonal Summer Youth Team—twice the number who applied last year. 

The increase in applications for the Summer Youth Team corresponds with a marked increase in participation in this the second year of MANS’ in-school leadership program, Inspire Mamawi. The optional leadership training program brings Maskwacis community leaders and students together monthly.
