    Description

    In the Lead Volunteer Coach

    In the Lead is a strengths-based leadership development program for overlooked Young Leaders (15-24). Where others see deficits and manage risk, we see strengths and develop possibility and potential. In the Lead combines the development of self-awareness and leadership skills with mentoring support from caring adults and volunteer Coaches and opportunities to demonstrate leadership in the community. In the Lead consistently achieves results that increase the Young Leaders' level of resilience and decreases their level of risk, ultimately transforming their views of themselves, their communities, and their futures.

    * Develop a strengths-based approach to mentorship and leadership
