YLP events are planned by people who believe in your ability to be a leader and affect the future for all of us, especially those in Chester County. During your YLP experience, you will discover and sharpen your leadership skills; you will confront and learn from current leaders in such fields as government, media, business and science; and, you will be taught how to think, not what to think, empowering you to value your own opinions and ideas, and to find the courage to express those opinions among your peers. Then, YLP will challenge you, by developing your own Community Service project, to take your experience back to your school and community and make a difference for others.
Involving yourself in YLP is a great chance for you to stand out and be outstanding; to show others who you are and what you can do. While it's up to the YLP contributors to create a foundation for an exciting, interactive experience, it will be up to you to maximize these experiences so to take full advantage of this powerful resource. We can't wait to meet you and watch you emerge as a Chester County leader!
