Leadership Development includes a Youth Policy Committee which is a group of trainees who were elected to make decisions regarding program policy, disciplinary action towards peers and planning for community service projects and fund-raising events. We have been involved in several community service projects since the program began, and are always looking for more. Currently, we have no openings for new students, but hope to receive additional funding in the future.
