YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Youth Leadership Development Program (YLDP) is designed to provide middle and high school alumni of Club Compass the opportunity to develop as leaders, and be prepared for college, vocational / trade school, the military, and/or to enter the workforce. The ultimate goal is for these youths to graduate from high school and be ready to achieve their dreams.

Components of this new program, being piloted during the 2023-2024 school year, include:

• An evidence-based social-emotional learning curriculum
• Life and job skills classes (i.e., résumé and cover letter writing, job interview skills, and making post-secondary plans)
• Immediate application of leadership skills while working with elementary students at Club Compass
• Service learning projects
