Youth Leadership Initiative

We are thrilled to introduce our 6-month Youth Leadership Initiative, a dynamic program designed to empower young individuals with essential skills for personal, academic, and community success. This initiative combines leadership development, academic literacy in reading and writing, mentorship, and digital literacy, creating a comprehensive growth experience for our youth participants. Through interactive workshops, supportive mentorship, and hands-on digital learning, participants will build confidence and skills that they can carry forward into every aspect of their lives.

To recognize the dedication and commitment of our youth, we are offering a $1,000 award and an official certificate to those who attend all program sessions. This reward underscores our belief in the potential of each participant and celebrates their consistency and hard work throughout the program. We look forward to watching these young leaders develop and achieve their fullest potential, shaping a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
