Leadership UA Youth Program Community Project

Upper Arlington youth conceive, develop, and implement community projects that are meaningful to themselves and to the community or organization to which the project serves. Along with developing their own leadership styles the students learn incredible skills through this project including time management, organization, team building, fund-raising, and community service to name a few. Here are some examples of the wonderful work our Upper Arlington Leadership Youth have accomplished:

The 2011 Youth Class raised over $2000 for the Red Cross Tsunami Relief fund and over 1000 books for the Nationwide Childrens Hospital as well as sports equipment for the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus. For all of their remarkable efforts the class was honored at the 2012 State of the City event with the Youth Service Award.
