YMCA Youth Leadership Development
The Z collaborated with 6 neighbourhood associations to create a better-than-ever Youth Leadership Development Curriculum. It's called L.E.A.D. which stands for Leadership Excellence Asset Development. This is a 12 week curriculum designed to give teens a solid foundation of leadership skills. Youth Leadership programs look great on a resume. Youth will learn about themselves, others and the world in a safe and supportive environment. They'll learn how to lead others and the value of volunteering.
