Students can register at this link payouth.vote/palumbo - Students need to be 18 on or before May 19 and a US citizen to register. They will need either a Driver's License number or state ID or the last 4 of their Social to complete this form.
All current District students, including those entering kindergarten this fall, are eligible and encouraged to explore the exciting programming available to them. Families are encouraged to visit our website to learn more and to register as soon as possible, as seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will continue on a rolling basis until full, some programs are invite-only, so registration will not be an option. Families and students will be notified about their enrollment status by mid-June. To register or gather more information, families may visit the District’s Summer Programming website here.
The Live Like Blaine Leadership Academy
The Live Like Blaine Leadership Academy is an opportunity for rising sophomores (Class of 2029) to enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills through a comprehensive toolkit fostering self-awareness, confidence, teamwork and much more. This journey of personal growth unfolds within a diverse community of enthusiastic, skilled and like-minded peers from local high schools.
Leadership Academy students will also have the opportunity to meet and network with female leaders in sports and business, attend an overnight retreat and participate in community service opportunities.
This selective program will accept 24 girls from the Philadelphia area and surrounding suburbs in 1 of 2 cohorts (48 in total). Students selected for the program will meet monthly for a 2-hour interactive in-person session where they will learn leadership principles designed to enhance their performance both on and off the field, as well as within their communities. We will also host a speaker series where students will have the opportunity to hear from local female leaders in both sports and/or business fields each month.
A flyer for distribution is attached with the QR code linked to the application. The deadline for athletes to apply is May 15, 2026 but we accept students on a rolling basis so it's best to apply as early as possible.
If you have any questions about the program or the Live Like Blaine Foundation, please visit our website or email Karen Moustafellos at karen@livelikeblaine.org
