Youth Leadership Program
Empowering tomorrow’s leaders to meet today’s challenges
Do you look out on the world around you and imagine ways you could make it better?
When others sit back and say “oh well,” are you the person who says “what can I do?”
Do you see yourself pursuing more than just a job one day? You want a bright and meaningful career?
We’re here for you!
At Lighthouse Guild, we celebrate the potential of our young leaders and offer unique opportunities for learning and support.
The Youth Leadership Program at Lighthouse Guild is an elite training and personal development opportunity for young people with vision impairment. Built on the premise of strengthening students’ innate leadership potential, the YLP is a summer program that attracts high school students from all throughout the NYC metro area.
