What is
The Volunteer Jacksonville Youth Leadership Program?
Volunteer Jacksonville's Prudential Youth Leadership Institute
(PYLI) is a state-of-the-art training program designed to teach
servant leadership and community service skills to high school-age
students. The program is partially sponsored by Prudential and administered
by Volunteer Jacksonville, Inc., a Points of Light Volunteer Center.
What
will I learn?
Volunteer Jacksonville's PYLI employs a specially designed curriculum
developed by the Center for Creative Leadership of Greensboro, N.C.,
one of the world's foremost authorities on leadership training.
Participants learn and practice leadership skills such as goal setting,
team building, project planning and decision-making -- while emphasizing
the importance and means of applying these skills to community service
endeavors. The training program consists of approximately 40 training
hours of classroom instruction, hands-on field exercises, and an
actual community service project.
How will I benefit?
• Develop leadership experience for college entrance applications.
• Receive approved community service hours for Florida Bright
Futures scholarship.
• Meet new local friends with the same interests.
• Grow in confidence and skills as school and community leaders.
Who can apply?
PYLI is intended for students who will be sophomores or juniors
by September 2003 who have an interest in community service and
demonstrate leadership potential. All students with a positive attitude,
commitment to serving their community, and the desire to build their
own leadership skills are invited to apply for admission. The summer
Program of 2003 will consist of 35 students from Duval, Clay, St.
Johns, and Nassau county public and private high schools and home
schools. Of these 35 students, 2 students per school may be selected
to participate.
Cost?
There is a $100.00 fee to help defray the cost of breakfasts, lunches
and snacks served each day. No one will be denied acceptance due
to an inability to pay the fee.
