Lighthouse to offer free youth leadership training workshops
The Rapidian's Nonprofits section features stories written directly by local nonprofits about their work. These stories reflect their perspectives, not The Rapidian's editorial voice.
Lighthouse Communities, Inc. would like to invite youth to participate in a free leadership training workshop. This is a great opportunity for the youth to uncover their leadership abilities.
We are offering two train-ings during the month of April! The first will be held Saturday, April 17, 2010 at the Boys & Girls Club Siedman Center (139 Crofton St SE) from 11:30am - 2pm. The second class will take place Saturday, April 24, 2010, from 11:30a-2:00pm at Baxter Community Center (935 Baxter St SE).
The goal of this training is to guide the youth to do the following:
- Maintain a positive view of their future,
- Develop a strong sense of purpose, self-worth, and social responsibility.
- Pass on their leadership skills to other youth in their communities.
Please register by contacting Takara Taylor at 616.451.9140 ext 228.
