YLC students say they experience:
- An increased ability to lead. Students gain concrete skills that help them communicate with their peers and adults, problem-solve, and address conflict.
- An inclusive environment. Not only do students feel personally included, but they also come to value inclusivity as part of a healthy group dynamic.
- Increased bravery. Involvement in the group helps them develop the courage to explore activities that interest them
