We are thrilled to announce the launch of the newest cohort in the Young Leadership Collaborative (YLC), a groundbreaking initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of passionate, dynamic, and visionary leaders. This cohort represents a diverse group of young students from different high schools in Sacramento, CA who are committed to creating positive change, solving complex problems, and making an impact in their communities.
The Young Leadership Collaborative provides participants with a unique opportunity to engage in leadership development, mentorship, and skill-building through a combination of workshops, networking events, and hands-on experiences. By bringing together bright, emerging leaders, YLC offers a collaborative platform to share knowledge, foster innovation, and empower individuals to take their leadership journeys to the next level.
Who is in the New Cohort?
This year’s cohort consists of 17 talented individuals between the ages of 16-23. Each cohort member has been selected for their leadership potential, passion for community involvement, and dedication to advancing social good.
What’s Ahead for the Cohort?
Over the next six months, the cohort will take part in a series of workshops and training sessions focused on leadership skills, advocacy, team-building, and strategic thinking. They will also have the chance to network with senior leaders and industry experts, gaining invaluable insights into effective leadership practices.
A core aspect of YLC is fostering collaboration, and participants will engage in group projects aimed at addressing current issues within their communities. These hands-on projects will provide real-world experience in problem-solving, innovation, and teamwork, allowing the cohort to apply their newly acquired skills while making a tangible impact.
