Youth Programs
Youth Programs Overview
Through regular volunteer opportunities and hands‑on leadership learning, we help youth engage with their community and develop key leadership skills. New this year: Future Leaders Academy, a 9‑week program providing mentorship, skill‑building, and work experience.
Youth engage in community events like face painting, organizing games, or helping at local gatherings to give back while learning leadership, teamwork, and public‑interaction skills.
This 9‑week leadership program covers essential topics like communication, team building, financial literacy and job readiness. Weeks 8 & 9 involve hands‑on work experience to prepare youth for future employment and leadership roles.
