Richmond YOUTH LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE - APPLICATION
Are you a student leader who is passionate and eager to serve your community?
Then Youth Leadership Committee is the right program for you!
WHAT IS YOUTH LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE?
The Youth Leadership Committee (YLC) is a year-round program offered by the city of Richmond’s impact volunteering program Richmond ESC. YLC engages high school students in a rich combination of experiences including youth leadership development workshops, hands-on projects, and field trips. As YLC leaders, members explore different styles of leadership, discover their personal strengths and potential areas for growth, and learn and create solutions to pressing challenges facing the greater Richmond community. YLC provides youth leaders the tools they need to take responsibility and make positive contributions to their neighborhoods and communities.
YLC integrates a curriculum developed by the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University centered around service learning, civic participation, and volunteerism. YLC leaders participate in community service projects throughout the year with local organizations in Richmond. At end of the program, YLC leaders participate in the Annual Youth Service Showcase and Recognition Ceremony to present their projects and achievements.
Participants earn a $200 stipend for full participation in the program.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
YLC is open to high school students who are residents of the city of Richmond OR attend one of Richmond's schools.
