LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

LEADERS CLUB AND PROGRAMS AT AREA BRANCHES
Teens who belong to a Leaders Club at YMCA branches get the opportunity to learn, service, socialize, travel and grow as leaders. Teens run the club by serving as Officers and members vote on all decisions affecting the club. Volunteer opportunities include leading classes, serving on branch boards, courtesy counter assistance and more. Club social activities include dances, parties, rallies, conferences, skiing, hiking and almost anything else you might want to do.

YOUTH COUNCIL
The YMCA of Greater Cincinnati offers opportunities for youth to change Cincinnati through their voices on the Youth Council. Although officers are elected at the annual Youth in City Government program, youth can serve as Cabinet members on the Youth Council. The goal of the current Youth Council, which meets monthly, is to provide valuable insight and feedback to adult community leaders about youth interests. The Youth Council defines youth issues, proposes solutions, plans action and advocacy, as well as evaluates and promotes the results.
