Young Chautauqua is a nationally recognized Colorado program where young scholars portray historical figures, combining research, history, language arts, and drama to develop a presentation.

Through a series of Young Chautauqua workshops, Elsa coaches students

as they immerse themselves in the writings and lives of historical characters

through research, rehearsal, and performance. This portrayal is then

presented in front of an audience of their peers.
 

Young Chautauqua raises student interest and knowledge of American history

by providing opportunities for in-depth research and public speaking

while being mentored by Young Chautauqua coaches.

       

                              The program builds self-esteem and reveals insight into real-life

                               choices and challenges.
