The Berkshire Youth Leadership Program sounds like an incredible program geared to help students learn more about leading others and themselves, and it’s an opportunity that I want to take full advantage of. Ever since I was young, I was always a “standout” in my class. Even back in pre-school, adults noticed that I was a natural born leader, going so far as to tell my parents that I was “going to be the first woman president”. In elementary school, I would always be learning things and understanding things faster than the other kids, and they would always look to me for help. As I grew older, things stayed similar to then and now, many of my peers come to me for academic help and help with their personal lives. Throughout my entire academic

    Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

With correctional workers, effective leadership and management is essential to the safety of other workers. To those housed in correctional facilities, and to the community at large. How new leaders are trained and prepared for their important role is essential to the success of correctional institutions. This paper will address a review of best practice regarding leadership in correctional facilities as well as an analysis of Corrections Corporation of America’s (CCA) Samberg Program.

    Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader

    Ways that I would recognize staff members is by organizing events such as Teacher Appreciation Day or by reaching out with social media.

    YWCA’s Youth Mentorship Program (YMP) is designed to promote positive youth development and leadership while combating issues leading to increased drop‐out rates, teen pregnancy rates, and juvenile detention rates facing the enrolled youth in the program. YMP’s strength lies in its unique family‐oriented atmosphere.

For many of the youth that we serve, that steadying presence over their formative years is the most stable thing in their lives. By providing a structured study environment, enrichment activities, character development, and tutoring we promote success in school, development of

    In organizations aspiring for growth and continual improvement, relationships are more intricate and alternatives more numerous than the either/or imposition implied by the notion of leaders and followers. Practically no one leads all of the time. Leaders also work as followers; all in all, “everyone uses a portion of their day following and another portion leading” (Galie and Bopst, 2006, p. 11).

    A little over a year ago I was approached by the youth pastor at my church and was asked to help out with an active youth program. I immediately said yes. I didn’t mind the idea of investing my time into this program considering I was once attending the same youth group when I was in middle school and loved it. The program consisted of playing, singing, and studying with middle school students every Wednesday night from seven o’clock to nine o’clock in the evening. It was a bit different than I remembered it to be but the next year and a half would be no less memorable.
