LEAD is short for Leadership Education and Action Development. It is a formal volunteer opportunity for kids to learn marketable skills that will serve them well as environmental leaders, as students, and in life. Older youth and adult partners with appropriate expertise mentor LEADers. In the end, the young people will have acquired educational enrichment, self-confidence, team spirit, and the means to make a significant contribution to quality of life and the community.

Participation is open to all area youth in 5th - 12th grades. Classes are held on Wednesdays, 3:30 - 5:00 PM at the Youth LEADership Center. There may be additional outside time spent by participants in research, preparation, or writing.
