  • Youth Leadership Development

    YOUTH LEADERSHIP: STUDENTS 12 AND OLDER CAN PARTICIPATE IN YOUTH LEADERSHIP SEMINARS ON COLLEGE, CAREERS, AND COMMUNITY. ONCE THEY TURN 14, STUDENTS CAN APPLY TO BECOME PAID YOUTH APPRENTICES, MENTORING YOUNGER STUDENTS WHILE LEARNING WORK SKILLS. EDWIN, 15, WAS HIRED THIS YEAR: "I HELP KIDS WITH BIKES. IF THEY DON'T KNOW SOMETHING, THEY CAN ASK ME. I TAUGHT SOMEONE HOW TO RIDE A BIKE. HE WAS EARNING HIS BIKE, AND HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE. WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE A CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE, THEY START TO UNDERSTAND BETTER. HE USED TO FEEL EMBARRASSED, BUT I TALKED TO HIM AND SAID 'LOOK, I USED TO FALL TOO. AND HE GOT BACK ON HIS BIKE. HE'S A REALLY GOOD RIDER NOW."
