Teen Leaders Club
What is the Teen Leaders Club?
YMCA Teen Leaders Club is a program that brings teens together to develop group leadership skills, as well as allowing individuals to grow by building a healthy spirit, mind and body. Teens will meet on a monthly basis, in addition to other activities and/or volunteer opportunities.
One of the unique traits of Teen Leaders Club is that everything is run by the teens themselves. Even the meetings are run by the CAB (Club Advisory Board), consisting of a group of teens that are chosen by their peers to plan and organize meetings and monthly events.
Teen Leaders Club is an opportunity for teens to learn about leadership, get involved with the community and have fun with peers. Essentially, the club is what the group makes of it. Under the supervision of YMCA staff and volunteers, teens can make Leaders Club exactly what they want it to be!
What Does the Teen Leaders Club Do?
Monthly Meetings - An opportunity for teens to meet new people, while hanging out in a fun atmosphere at the YMCA, these meetings are run by the CAB, which consists of a Club President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. These positions are filled by teens who are elected by their peers. During meetings, club members decide which events to participate in that month, such as volunteer and social opportunities.
Rallies - These are some of the best opportunities for teens to develop new skills, try new things and meet teens from all over Ohio. Rallies are weekend long service projects, sponsored by different YMCA Leaders Clubs. Teens get together with area clubs and participate in projects that give back to the community. Rallies also include a social component, with events like sports tournaments, dances or concerts.

Training - Teens will learn new skills and further their knowledge about the topics that affect their lives, including relationships, peer pressure and school. Like every aspect of Teen Leaders Club, the teens, themselves, determine what they are going to learn about, based on what they WANT to learn about!
Volunteer Opportunities - Volunteering is a large part of Teen Leaders Club. In an effort to build a strong mind, body and spirit, teens work in the community to make a difference in themselves and the world they live in.
