Lead Colorado

TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM The YMCA of Northern Colorado, CU Boulder and the Boulder Valley, St. Vrain Valley and Thompson School Districts have developed a free program to provide selected local high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with foundational leadership skills. We believe there are many promising local students with great leadership potential who may benefit from additional training and development of their skills. Utilizing the existing resources in our community, this program will give participants significant leadership education and experience. We will provide tools needed to navigate situations that one is likely to face through a continued leadership journey via roles of increasing responsibility and impact. Through hands-on projects, intrapersonal and interpersonal exploration and mentoring from community leaders, Lead Colorado helps young leaders form self-awareness about their personal mission and values. While completing capstone projects, participants will give back to the community and show their leadership capabilities. Lead Colorado will work to develop purposeful, ethical leaders who are equipped to have a significant impact in our community.
