YMCA provides Youth Leadership courses for teenagers aged 15-17. Skills learnt include teambuilding, communication, confidence, trust and leading others.
The Youth Leadership course is delivered from selected YMCA centres and high schools. This personal development course normally runs for 13 weeks although it can be tailored to meet the needs of schools who choose to offer it to their students. Each week a different leadership skill is learnt.
The Youth Leadership course is a lot of fun. Skills are learnt through practical activities and students gain a lot of confidence and motivation from these workshops. The course runs over two terms, and students receive a certificate once they have passed.
YMCA provides the opportunity for youth 15 years and older to work alongside YMCA staff and mentors in our holiday programmes and term programmes. We welcome the opportunity to assist in developing our youth and sharing our knowledge.
