Youth, Leadership, Education and Development Summit (YLEAD)
Army Reserve youth tell us that they feel isolated when they don’t know anyone else with a parent or sibling serving in the Army. Leadership opportunities and positive youth development programs allow Army Reserve youth to connect with other youth who share their military life experience. YLEAD Summits provide an opportunity for teens ages 14 -17 to connect with their peers that are located within their region or command during a 4 day leadership retreat. Teens participate in workshops geared towards enhancing their life and social skills such as: stress management, leadership, communication, understanding the military culture and community service. YLEAD Summits have influenced thousands of Army Reserve teens to be a positive contributor to their Family, school, and community. (Click here for a YLEAD near you.)
