YOU Life Skills and Leadership Educational Foundation is committed to creating highly competent teenagers and young adults by nurturing their identity and personal values and fostering their development into strong leaders within their communities. We do this by teaching each participant to: Lead Yourself: Participants develop the ability to lead themselves by valuing who they are and what makes them special and unique. They learn to make values-based decisions that affect change within their own lives. Reach Outward: By recognizing what motivates them about their own values and qualities, individuals can learn to respect and appreciate the differences in others. This instills a culture of mutual respect which leads to positive changes within families, schools, and communities. Understand the World around you: As individuals gain self-assurance, appreciate diversity, and collaborate with people from different backgrounds, they become equipped to identify the needs in their communities, comprehend those needs, and explore solutions. This empowers them to make a positive impact on the world around them.
