Our Teen Leadership Programming

Teen Leadership Academy

Summer Teen Leadership Academy

The Summer Teen Leadership Academy program is an exciting and unique experience designed to decrease the effects of summer learning loss and prepare high schoolers for success in school, higher education, and prosperous careers.

Youth participating will cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Students in our program explore career paths and post-secondary options through workplace tours, guest speakers, and project-based learning. The program is organized into multiple components, each focusing on building different skills.

Impact Program

Visser Impact Program

Teens explore talents and interests while gaining leadership skills and confidence in a safe, nurturing atmosphere through homework help, physical activity, volunteer activities, community service projects, and mentoring with Visser Family YMCA families.
