Mentorship - Leadership Development Training Program


This leadership development training is designed to prepare youth to become mentors at Thomas Haney Youth Action Park. Through training youth will gain certifications and build their skills as leaders. After a successful evaluation youth will earn an honorarium for their time spent mentoring in the action park.

This leadership group is made up of youth aged 12-18 whose goal is to positively promote youth in our community. With a focus on leadership development, youth will design workshops, plan special events and address social issues facing youth today. We are looking forward to new members joining us. The Youth Council meets on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm beginning in October. New members are always welcome.
