YOUTH LEADERSHIP
WHAT IS YOUTH LEADERSHIP
Youth LEADERship Ashtabula County is a leadership program for high school juniors in Ashtabula County. The goal is to acquire and strengthen leadership skills while increasing community engagement. In Youth LEADERship, students learn how to lead by doing; we work in teams to solve real-world problems.
Students work on real community problems that matter to them and their team. At the end of the year, each team presents their evidence-based solutions to community leaders. As a result, students master creative problem solving, critical thinking collaboration, self-management, and citizenship.
Each month we embark on various on-site visits and work with existing community leaders on issues that are real and urgent in our community. Participants take a deep dive into the different sectors and the diverse community that is Ashtabula County, including; business, labor, economy, government, health and human services, and recreation sectors.
