First Lead YOU! Academy
A 3-MONTH COMPETENCY-BASED CERTIFICATE PROGRAM FOR YOUNG LEADERS
TODAY’S YOUTH HAVE GREATER ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY THAN ANY GENERATION BEFORE.
But young adults are also feeling pressures related to rapid change, complex global concerns, economic issues, and political polarization.
While these challenges can leave young adults feeling overwhelmed and powerless, they also present opportunities.
When young people are empowered, trained, and mentored, they can become dynamic advocates, and effective drivers of social and community change.
Through effective leadership development efforts, young adults can become servant leaders, better contribute to meaningful dialogue, and be better prepared offer fresh perspectives for how to address the myriad issues facing them and our communities.
After all, a better world starts with better leaders.
In this 3-month, competency-based, certificate program, young leaders will discover their leadership potential, and begin to acquire skills, confidence, and motivation to make things happen and bring about change in the places where they live, work, learn, play, and worship.
