The State-Certified Youth Leadership Program recognizes a student’s mastery and demonstration of leadership skills valued by employers, communities, and organizations.
The program requires:
- Reinforcement of leadership skills in the form of the four Cs (collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking skills) and service hours with a community or employer mentor
- A minimum 90 work hours accumulated over the course of high school
- School coordination by a DPI-licensed teacher
Examples of how to implement locally:
- Through a career and technical student organization
- Through a leadership course or student retreat that focuses on leadership skills
- Through volunteer work for a local nonprofit organization or company
