9th — Post-High School
YOUTH WHO ARE
At Leadership Launch, we serve teens in the Mukilteo School District ages 14-19 who are committed to acting on their sense of social responsibility and conscience and are primarily first-generation college-bound teens of color. Our teens are nominated into Leadership Launch by teachers and counselors based on: (1) the students’ demonstrated commitment to social responsibility and ability to engage and lead among peers; and (2) significant barriers they face in achieving their leadership goals.
Program Overview
LYLO & Link Summer Program is a seven-day leadership intensive that includes activities for Leadership Launch students and partners to build relationships, have fun, explore, learn about community, while launching a leadership community service project. The curriculum begins with a two-day team-building retreat, and for the next five days, youth will: (1) Explore cities in the region to learn about community industry sectors, including Arts & Culture, Law & Justice, through scavenger hunts; (2) Compete in amazing race-themed puzzles and team challenges at various organizations to connect to organizations and businesses; (3) Adventure through the outdoors with hiking and other activities; (4) Attend sporting events; and (5) Launch a community service project created and led by peers, culminating with a celebration of their accomplishments.
