Our Youth Leadership Council (YLC) has been empowering high school students to become conscious leaders in their communities for the past few years. Our YLC students experience firsthand the incredible power of giving back while growing and developing skills to aid them in their future endeavors and making lifelong friends from other parts of the state. We are now opening the application process for the upcoming term and are seeking students passionate about making a difference.

About the YLC: The YLC is a unique after-school program that provides a platform for students to lead awareness campaigns, engage with their communities, and support local children in need. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep passion for making a positive impact on their communities. Here are some key benefits for students:

·Develop leadership skills through hands-on community engagement, including leading awareness campaigns.

·Make a tangible impact by fulfilling the wishes of children facing life-threatening illnesses.

·Build lasting friendships with peers from diverse backgrounds.

·Enhance public speaking abilities and boost self-confidence.

·Accrue volunteer and community service hours with school approval.

·Network with local business professionals for future academic and professional opportunities.

If you believe any of your students would be a good fit for the YLC, we kindly request your assistance in spreading the word about this opportunity. Additional details on benefits, requirements and application can be found HERE.
