"In short, LTS was an incredible, invaluable experience that laid a solid framework for my life on campus and my outlook on what is truly important in the world."
-Stacey Galvez, Class of 2007

You've learned all about Washington University , but what is St. Louis about? Leadership Through Service offers a rare opportunity for entering WU students to explore the St. Louis community while acclimating to college life. LTS includes multiple community service projects, leadership training, fascinating speakers and workshops, and memories for a lifetime. Join the fun as the city becomes your classroom!

Leadership Through Service in St. Louis (affectionately known as LTS) is one of WU's annual pre-orientation programs for new students. 85 new students join a student staff of sophomores and juniors who loved LTS so much they decided to come back and pave the way for the next generation of participants. The schedule is full and at the end of the day you will feel accomplished, inspired, and eager for another day of fun, powerful conversations, and memorable experiences.

By the end of LTS, you'll have seen the “real” St. Louis, broadened and deepened your understanding of pressing social justice issues, built a network of like-minded friends, and gained a solid connection to the Community Service Office and opportunities for continued involvement throughout the year.

If you choose to join us for the LTS adventure, plan to bring grubby clothes because you might be doing yardwork, painting, or other community service projects that require you to get your hands dirty! As the schedule notes, you should also plan to bring spending money for two meals out with your small group that are “pay your own way” (we recommend planning for $15 per meal). Also, be sure to sign up for your U-Pass, as we'll be travelling via MetroLink on the last day of the program!

Registration opens in mid-April each year and is first-come, first-served for up to 85 students. Click here to apply for LTS on the Orientation page.
