What it reported doing in 2024

Local yla (youth leadership association) youth chapters engage teens in a process of civic leadership development through service. Teens assess the strengths and area of need in their school and community, indentify the kind of school and community they want, create and carry out programs and service intiatives to acheive their vision, and reflect on their work to strengthen future action.most ylas are school based. Others are community based. Yla welcomes participation from every community. Other youth groups may join yla to expand their program while keeping their own name and organization. Youth wanting their own youth group create yla groups.a local yla experience is enhanced as teens participate away from home in state and regional yla program conferences, youth in governement three-day student legislative and supreme court, youth and government seminars at the state capitol, and model united nations assemblies.these experiences help teens apply classroom lessons of research, writing, public speaking, parliamentary procedure, debate, consensus building, making decisions, and working with others to state issues in youth in government and international issues in model united nations.
