Leaders of Tomorrow are Made at the Y

 

Our Teen Leadership Programs seek to engage teens, in grades 8-12, through programs that offer opportunities for personal growth and development by providing intentional and empowering experiences. Every teen and young adult deserves the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.

 

 

The Y is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose, and each other. Working locally, we focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being, and inspiring action in and across communities. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, perspectives and generations, we ensure that we all have access to the opportunities, relationships and resources necessary to learn, grow, and thrive.
