THE PROGRAM

CBO is 1 -Year education development program dedicated to building the capacity of young adults from Burma to continue effectively in civil society organizations.

The concept

 Community Benefit Organization (CBO) was founded in 2006 by Ma Myint and Education Program(EP) as a school where young adults inside Burma from the community could come to develop their English language, computer and community development skills while cultivating the thought process skills associated with effective leadership. By combining a student-centered, experiential approach to education with a curriculum that emphasizes group work, reflective practice, and critical thinking, CBO offers a program with impacts that reach beyond the classroom and into the communities it was designed to serve.

Summer Programs for High School Students

Are you a high school student age 15 to 18? Then consider spending your summer at Harvard, where you can explore a variety of college-level courses, and live and learn alongside a diverse set of peers.

Our summer programs for high school students are designed to prepare you for that all-important next step—both academically and socially—paving the way for a successful college experience.
Here, you will expand your worldview, meet new people from all over the globe, test-drive potential majors, gain valuable knowledge and skills, and explore Boston—one of America’s most vibrant and historic cities—amid a community of supportive peers and advisors.

Two options to choose from:

Pre-College Program

A two-week residential experience featuring noncredit courses

Join other intellectually curious high school students on campus at Harvard, where you can explore topics as wide ranging as American law, philosophy, computer programming, and public speaking. The program features:

• A choice of over 50 noncredit courses designed to give pre-college students a preview of college academics.
• On-campus housing with fellow pre-college students and residential staff.
• Structured days, with weekday class meetings and pre-college activities.

During your two weeks at Harvard, you attend class for three hours a day and participate in college readiness workshops or team-building events. In the evenings, you eat in the dining hall, finish homework in your dorm, and attend social activities.
You leave the pre-college summer program more capable of thinking critically and communicating confidently—skills that will lead to success at school, in college, and in your career.
Applications are now being accepted for the Pre-College Program.
