Empower Young People to Become Community Changemakers and Leaders with the generationOn goLEAD Program!
The goLEAD(generationOn Leadership, Education, and Development) program inspires young people to engage in meaningful service-learning and leadership skill building to effect real community change. Originally developed by the Center for Creative Leadership and recently revised by leaders in the youth development field, this program provides the caliber of leadership training typically available only to corporate executives and government leaders. goLEAD equips youth to become stronger leaders, conscientious communicators, and community-minded citizens through a series of hands on activities, interactive modules, and ongoing service project planning. goLEAD incorporates elements of STEM and is in line with many 21st Century competencies.
Using a train-the-trainer model, adults who wish to engage youth in the goLEAD program MUST attend a two day goLEAD Facilitator Training to receive the goLEAD Program Guide and learn how to implement a goLEAD Institute.
After completing the Facilitator Training, you will receive a copy of the goLEAD Program Guide and will be required to host at least one goLEAD Institute for youth per year to maintain your certification.
Adults who become certified goLEAD Facilitators:
• Join a growing network of hundreds of dedicated adults with nearly two decades of successful youth development.
• Inspire youth to take action that changes the world and themselves through service.
• Equip youth with critical leadership and communication skills.
• Mobilize youth to plan a capstone service project to benefit the community.
• Develop young leaders who are prepared to continue making positive change in their local and global communities after the goLEAD Institute is complete.
• Generate organizational income through attendance fees and grant opportunities.
Youth who complete a goLEAD Institute hosted by a goLEAD Facilitator:
• Attend a 30 hour goLEAD Institute during which they complete leadership development activities, team building exercises, and practice self- and group-reflection.
• Develop 21st Century competencies, gain a global perspective and engage with elements of STEM.
• Engage in creative service work with your organization for the benefit of the community using the steps of service-learning and the goLEAD program.
• Become a service-learning ambassador in their region by playing a leadership role in engaging youth in service and service-learning.
