The Campus Connection
The Youth Leadership Alliance works with the student clubs and organizations to provide educational and enrichment opportunities for youth in the areas of Leadership, Community Advocacy and Outreach and Professional Skills Development.
YLA begins with a Leadership Conference Series that teaches students organizational management skills to develop and expand the mission and goals of their campus clubs. We meet with the campus administrative team and club advisors to develop a customized and comprehensive action plan for each school. Each cohort of clubs will participate in multiple training sessions and service learning projects throughout the year that will provide training and resources to empower them to build or establish an impactful presence on campus and in the community.
Many sessions are designed for students to participate with the clubs on their own campus and we focus on their roles and responsibilties to their school and student body. While a few sessions allow for students to network with clubs at other schools in their regions. This gives the students an opportunity to learn to build a network to eliminate the Us and Them and develop We and Our.
Our Clubs, Our Schools, Our Communities
