The Youth Leadership Council challenges and empowers high-achieving students to become active leaders today by connecting them with helpful resources in their community and supporting students as they discover and employ their leadership potential. Weekly meetings foster students’ understanding of community resources and assets and provide opportunities to meet with city officials and adult leaders and plan events that foster civic engagement and volunteerism.
By linking students to a wide range of individuals and agencies in the community, YLC equips students to strive for excellence and become confident and competent young leaders.
