The nine core objectives for the YLSC program are to:  

      • Develop leadership skills
• Improve communication skills through networking and interactions
• Understand diversity of schools
• Build self confidence
• Understand the concept of teamwork
• Enhance knowledge of economic development
• Explore legal and justice systems within the community
• Develop awareness of educational opportunities
• Understand the importance of volunteerism 

Audience
The program is geared for eighth graders.  The recruiting for the 2009 Class will begin in the spring of 2008.  Interested students should inquire through their guidance counselors or by contacting the Leadership Sandusky County office at 419-332-1591.
