LEAD

L.E.A.D. (Lead, Explore, And Develop) is a 5-week program where youth take on planning and implementing a BC Youth Week event for the first week of May.

With fun team-building games and activities, LEAD members will build self-confidence, create positive life skills and develop a sense of responsibility to the community. LEAD is a stepping stone into our Youth Council group, a high-level leadership program (grades 10 - 12)

For grades: 9-12

This program is the perfect way to gain new skills, make new friends, and have a blast while doing it! So why wait? Sign up today and unleash your leadership potential!
