Teen Leadership
|
Teenagers (ages 13 and up) develop leadership skills throughout our summer Youth Leadership Program. Participants are trained alongside their peers in group facilitation, communication, problem solving, nonprofits, and fundraising. Then, they put this learning into action: leading or co-leading our Family Volunteering Activities and designing service projects to benefit the community. They stay on our service pathway and help inspire the next generation of volunteers and community leaders.
Teens take on a leadership role in our organization, positioning them for lifelong community leadership.Teen Co-Leads train and assist our experienced Activity Leads at some of our larger activities, while completing an independent project to help our community.
Teen Leads train and work with our volunteer families to improve our community and teach our youth about empathy, hard work and service, while completing a group project of their choice. |
Applications for summer of 2020
will open in February. |
