The Youth As Leaders program is a 3-year leadership program run by the Schoharie County Youth Bureau for high school students. In the program, sophomores learn leadership skills based on "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens", juniors complete service learning projects, and seniors facilitate lessons for younger students. The proposal seeks funding to expand the program under a grant, targeting grades 7-12. If funded, the expanded program would include character development for middle schoolers, more service opportunities, and facilitation training for upperclassmen. Meetings would focus on leadership lessons, service projects, team building, and an adventure trip over an 18 meeting school year.
