YouLead Global Youth Leadership Program’s goal is to connect, cultivate, inspire and empower high school Juniors and Seniors throughout the DFW area to make a positive contribution to their communities and sphere of influence. The communities these young leaders impact include not only their local communities but can, and often times do, expand worldwide. There are many youth programs in the area; these programs, however, tend to target kids in a specific city or with a certain ethnic background. YouLead GYL is unique in that we strive to be inclusive regardless of the student’s economic or ethnic background. Through collaborations with various community and business leaders and other diverse organizations, students are given innovative, hands-on experiences through workshops, informative speaking events, exclusive site visits, and participation in community service projects. In essence, we will use the community as a classroom. In addition, students will learn the importance of teamwork, gain real-world leadership insight, and acquire the essential leadership skills they need to persevere and succeed in their academic and professional careers.
