Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program (YLP) Needs You!
The Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program (YLP) Needs You!
As Toastmasters, we are already wired to bring out the best in each other by mentoring, coaching, and providing feedback. However, the satisfaction achieved mentoring adults increases exponentially when you mentor youths. I believe this is because the YLP is a compact 8-week program and since youths are so impressionable, YLP coordinators get almost instant gratification by seeing youths become better week after week!
Online or in-class, there is no better time than now to become a YLP coordinator as youths are craving social interaction and personal development outside of their regular schoolwork. What’s more? Credit from coordinating a YLP counts towards your DTM award!
The Youth Leadership Program is a workshop consisting of eight one- to two-hour sessions that enable young people under the age of 18 to develop their communication and leadership skills through practical experience. The program is presented during or after school, or on weekends.
The workshops are structured for small group learning and the meetings resemble regular Toastmasters meetings, but they are more fun!
