Our Youth Leadership Program has been a staple at YC since 2007. YLP is available to 9th-12th grade students in the community, regardless of which school the youth attends. Program takes place at the Youth Crossroads office and is available year-round.
The Youth Leadership Program has three pillars that guide our programming: Service, Leadership, and Recreation. The goal of the youth leadership program is to support youth in developing leadership skills and empower youth in using these skills to give back to their community through engagement in regular community service opportunities. Youth will complete a semester-long internship program, where they will learn all about their personal leadership skills and styles, teamwork, and community issues; all while planning and executing their own community service project.
In addition to leadership training and service learning, YLP includes regular recreation opportunities for youth, including local fieldtrips, college visits, overnight college and camping trips, a social justice tour, and our yearly out-of-state service-learning trip!
YLP will be starting back up in January of 2025!
