THE POINTS OF LIGHT YOUTH LEADERSHIP
INSTITUTE
Mission/Purpose:
Our mission is to provide youth with the encouragement, peer networks and
leadership skills necessary for them to make meaningful contributions to
their communities and begin a life-long journey of leadership and service.
Programs/Activities:
The Institute employs a specially
designed curriculum developed by the Center for Creative Leadership, one of
the world's foremost authorities on leadership training. It incorporates the
latest methodology for teaching key leadership skills - such as goal
setting, team building, project planning and decision making - while
emphasizing the importance and means of applying these skills to community
service endeavors. The training program consists of approximately 30 hours
of classroom instruction, plus hands-on field exercises and a community
service project.
·
The
Community Service Project
- The service project is a
unique part of the Institute that distinguishes the program from similar
leadership training programs. The purpose of the service project is to give
Institute participants an opportunity to utilize what they have learned from
the training curriculum; gain confidence in their abilities to create,
develop, and implement a service project, and act upon their social concerns
expressed during training. The project can be completed in a single day or
over a period of time. It is important to gauge the feasibility of the
proposed project for the amount of time and resources trainers are able to
devote. Participants:
Teens. Getting Involved:
