Teen Leadership Programs
|
Generation SERVE Summer Leadership Academy builds teens' community leadership skills through volunteerism. Youth ages 13 and up will learn from seasoned volunteers, nonprofit professionals, and community leaders about what it takes to make real change and commit to values like compassion, empathy, and justice. After training, teens will be matched with a younger participant to guide them through an independent service project.

Teens help inspire the next generation of volunteers and community leaders on our service pathway. |

After completion of our Summer Leadership Academy, many of our Teen Leaders stay engaged with Generation SERVE year-round in the following ways:
- Co-leading volunteer activities
- Becoming a Generation SERVE Activity Lead
- Leading Teen Service Days and service fairs
- Assisting with trainings and events during Teen Leadership alum-specific shifts
- Joining our Teen Advisory Board (TAB)!
