The Youth Leadership Program (YLP) is a terrific
way to help younger members of society begin
learning more effective and leadership skills
at a younger age.
The
Youth Leadership Program helps young people
develop the communication and leadership
skills they need to be successful adults.
The program is conducted by a coordinator
for a group of young people under the age
of eighteen, in four to eight sessions of
one to two hours each. Ideally, there should
be 15 to 25 participants; the minimum number
is five.
Over the course of these sessions, participants
learn about effective public speaking, have
the opportunity to practice speaking themselves,
and can be mentored by experienced Toastmasters
if they desire. Friendships can and do blossom
from the Youth Leadership experience.
This
is a very effective way for a teenager to
acquire the skills of speaking, listening,
thinking, and evaluating -- all skills that
are extremely important in today's world.
The
sessions of the Youth Leadership Program
covers a variety of topics which play a
part in good public speaking.
