Come check out the Benjamin Harrison YMCA’s teen leaders club! Leaders is a Nationwide YMCA program for teens ages 13 – 18 that teaches leadership skills through community service, volunteerism and personal growth.

The Teen Advisory Group meets twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday with the intention to provide a platform for teens to advocate for issues they care about and also represent the broader teen community. The goal is to determine program interest that will increase engagement among the teens in the center as well as identify areas of needed resources for their development. Teen Advisors will be granted the opportunity to assume roles and responsibilities that will promote the development of critical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork and problem solving. Teen Advisors will also learn the importance of contributing to their communities. This will encourage them to be active, engaged citizens.
