YOUTH LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
Welcome! The Youth Leadership Institute is presented by the Overland Park Rotary Club Foundation in association with Johnson County Community College.
Do you want to do something different this summer? Tired of working everyday or hanging out at the same old spots? Have you heard of YLI? No? Well, it could be the best thing you do all summer!
What is YLI?
YLI is a 5-day hands-on leadership training program designed specifically to help you be a leader in your school and community. Experienced facilitators and community leaders teach a select group of high school students from the Metropolitan Kansas City area.
Specifically, you will learn about Core Leadership Concepts, Leadership Styles, the Ethics of Responsible Leadership, Team Building, Small Group Interaction, Self Awareness and the value of Civic Engagement. YLI graduates discover a keen awareness of their own leadership potential and develop the skills necessary to be a successful leader.
By sponsoring YLI, the Overland Park Rotary Club Foundation and JCCC seeks to inspire you, a Kansas City high school student, to apply your leadership skills and passion to help make our community a better place to live, work and play.
