PROJECT ADVENTURE - YOUTH LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

Mission/Purpose: The Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) at Project Adventure promotes the empowerment of youth through innovative programming. YLI's experiential group process provides opportunities for youth to explore their value, encourage their discoveries, build their skills, and create supportive relationships.

Programs/Activities: All young people coming into the YLI will begin the process with the Community and Team-Building model, which is an immersion into the Adventure group experience and exploration of Adventure basics. From there, youth have the opportunity to further develop in one of our advanced youth trainings: Leadership Skills, Conflict Resolution and Peacemaking, and Diversity/Multiculturalism.

1.     Community and Team-Building - A tailored sequence of Adventure activities that fosters individual and team growth in an environment that is fun, safe and respectful. There are also opportunities for youth to make positive choices, gain self-confidence and learn skills that are critical to their lifelong development.

2.     Leadership – Gives students the skills to understand their own leadership styles, how teams work and an understanding of how the group can perform more effectively.

3.    Conflict Resolution and Peacemaking - Focuses on building trust and community, resolving conflict, peacefully fostering teamwork, and engendering self-esteem in students.

4.    Diversity and Multiculturalism - Focuses on the value of diversity while enhancing intra- and inter-group relations through an engaging and interactive approach.

Participants: Students, ranging from middle-school to college-aged.
