Teen Leadership
|
Teens develop leadership skills throughout our Summer Teen Leadership Program. Participants are trained alongside their peers in group facilitation, communication, problem solving, and nonprofits. They put this learning into action by mentoring younger volunteers and designing service projects to benefit the community.
Teens help inspire the next generation of volunteers and community leaders on our service pathway. |
