conference for the north-western quadrant of Oklahoma. Casady is in
the northwestern quadrant district.
Casady has
been matched with a nearby Rotary Club or with the district
itself. We are looking for students that have potential, however,
could use some help getting there. We have a unique program that not
only teaches the hands-on skills of a group leader, but also leads students to
discover who they are and what skills they have to be a person of character
that others want to follow. Some clubs may wish to interview the
students. The clubs cover all costs, so the camp is free for
students, acceptance via e-mail.

Mission
Youth LEAD’s main goal is to inspire and mobilize youth leaders to reflect upon their values and beliefs, connect with others across differences, and act together to address local and global challenges.
Youth LEAD’s main goal is to inspire and mobilize youth leaders to reflect upon their values and beliefs, connect with others across differences, and act together to address local and global challenges.
Core Principles
The core principles maintain a profound belief in the wisdom of youth, encourage teens to think big and not be afraid to fail, and prepare young people to encounter and work through difficulties.
Mentorship model
Youth LEAD helps adult mentors to put youth in the driver’s seat, allowing teens to practice and enhance their leadership skills now, not waiting for when they are “old enough.” Mentors are taught how to support all youth in their leadership development, letting go of the need to control the outcome. This allows youth to try and to fail, each time learning and building on their repertoire of skills.
Long-term community engagement
In addition to training youth and mentors, Youth LEAD works with a community over several years to assess their unique strengths and challenges, convene community partners, provide program support, and work through difficulties that might arise.
Program Structure
Regular meetings provide a space for youth to reflect upon their values and beliefs, and to connect with others across differences. Youth decide upon the topics for each meeting and facilitate the discussions. Specialized trainings, conducted by the Youth LEAD creators from Boston, build communication, facilitation and organizing skills that youth need to have respectful “difficult conversations” and to address problems in their community. Youth-run service-learning projects provide Youth LEAD members with the opportunity to act by planning and running their own community service and social justice projects throughout the year.
The YMCA of
Greater Oklahoma City, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR OKC),
the Respect Diversity Foundation, Casady School Service-Learning Program, and
Mercy School Institute, with other community partners, have combined efforts to
help Youth LEAD become a national program. This unique, diverse group of
community partners collaborates with the common goal of solid teen
programming to make a difference in the lives of youth in Oklahoma City. The Y
leads the groups’ efforts, as it has the ability to launch programs in every
market in the United States and globally. Youth LEAD OKC is a catalyst for the
expansion of this one of a kind program to engage youth leaders across
differences.
