Youths learn
leadership
skills

AT A time when society em-
phasizes the limited opportunities
that teenagers seem to have these
days, the YMCA has decided to
do something about the problem.

Both North Shore Y’s will be
offering a Leaders-in-Training
program for 12 to 14 and for 15
to 17-year-olds starting Sept. 19
and for 18 to 23-year-olds starting
Sept. 24. This unique program has
consistently produced effective
leaders who excel in their fields.

Through games, activities, trips,
volunteer hours, theoretical and
practicai training, participants in
this program learn how to under-
stand themselves and others, de-
velop skills in activities, formulate
a set of values and appreciate
those values held by others and by
the organizations within which
they serve.

As youths approach adulthood,
they seek responsible positions in
which their activities are appreci-
ated and the results of their ef-
forts are significant in their own
eyes and, more importantly, in the
eyes of others. This program
combines good times with learning
leadership skills. For more infor-
mation, call 926-5541.
