Afterschool and summer learning programs can equip youth with the leadership and communication skills necessary to contribute to their schools and communities in meaningful ways. Programs give youth the opportunity to step into leadership positions and create effective peer-led initiatives, with the guidance of caring adults. This instills a sense of purpose, confidence, and motivation in youth to serve their communities.
