About Leaders Club
MHABC and the Witham Family YMCA are excited to partner again this year to provide a leadership program for teens and pre-teens called Leaders Club at MHABC’s office located at 1122 N. Lebanon St. The first session of the program will begin on Tuesday, October 1st and will meet on Tuesdays from 3:00 – 5:00 PM for 8 weeks (except for fall break). The second session will begin in late January and will run through early May (this session will be longer (12-16 wks) due to a service project the students will participate in. Students may choose to participate in one or both sessions.
The program will be facilitated by a staff member/s who is/are trained in the leadership curriculum. Students will receive lessons on a large array of topics, including leadership skills, community pride, program planning and resource mobilization. The Leaders Club curriculum provides young people with the tools to become leaders among their peers and change their community. While the students are there, they will have opportunities to socialize, eat, participate in various activities, form connections with their peers, and plan and execute a service project, all of which will support their social and emotional health. Transportation will be provided after school from Lebanon Middle School to the facility at 1122 N. Lebanon Street; however, parent pickup will be necessary at the end of each program session. The program is free of charge. We thank Eli Lilly, JDAI, and Drug Free Boone County for their sponsorship of the program!
