I Lead
A Service Community
Youth Leadership Program

I Lead is filled with powerful way for youth to give back and make an impact in their community through learning leadership skills with our youth leadership skills workshops and leadership service learning volunteer work. It provides youth leadership skills opportunities for youth (ages 12-17, youth adults (ages 18 - 24), and recent graduates. Youth and young adults experience holistic development by combining their education with service activities while they learn about how different issues affect them and other as well as develop youth leadership skills that can be applied no matter what path life takes them on after high school or college graduation.
