​SUMMER YOUTH LEADERSHIP CORPS

GlassRoots Summer Youth Leadership Corps provides in-depth training in leadership  skills, preparing participants to serve as mentors in our summer glass programs. The Youth Leadership Corps (YLC) is ‘staffed’ by students who have participated in our other long-term programs and who are ready to be trained as counselors/mentors.  
​
In this 6-week summer work/internship program high school students receive on-site and OTJ mentorship training and experience that helps ready them for college or the workforce while not losing the gifts and uniqueness of our glass art program.  The YLCs create, learn, and grow intellectually, socially and emotionally and can apply this experience to their resumes and school applications. With a focus on developing communication, teamwork, personal identity, professionalism, and project management, the YLCs complete the summer having developed the skills they need to succeed.
