Youth leadership provides a great opportunity for young people to learn how to guide or direct others on a course of action, influence the opinion and behavior of other people, and show the way.

• When should leadership development start? 
• What are the most important competencies to focus on in developing young leaders?
• Have young people been able to develop the competencies organizations need in their entry-level workforce or that they will need to lead organizations and society forward?
• Would it help them to learn more about themselves and others and propel them on an increased path of purpose and impact?

January 2016.  The students loved it, got a lot out of it, and are still talking about it!

Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
