YOUTH KONNECT 716 WELCOMES YOU
Connecting youth leaders to communities for change
ABOUT US
The Youth Leadership Academy provides youth ages 14-18 with the unique opportunity to engage in social and community change in collaboration with local organizations. The Academy starts with an exciting 4-week certificate program that builds leadership and community engagement skills. Upon completion of this program, youth can further enrich their skills by joining our dynamic Youth Advisory Council. This council will have the opportunity to amplify the youth's voice in the city of Buffalo NY. Graduates of the academy can include their certificate on resumes, scholarships, and applications to colleges, trade schools, and more.
