We are excited to see 1Berkshire's relaunch of the Youth Leadership Program! The Youth Leadership Program (YLP) is a program of 1Berkshire that invites any and all Berkshire County sophomore high school students to apply. YLP offers the opportunity to learn more about yourself and your community through an intensive and rewarding 10-month long experience. If accepted they will participate during their junior year of high school.
This begins with a mandatory 3-day, 3-night retreat on Thursday, June 9th through Sunday, June 12th, 2022 at Camp Arrow Wood in Pittsfield, and concludes with a mandatory commencement on April 18th, 2023. Through the program, participants will meet peers from across the region, community leaders from businesses, government agencies, and civic organizations, develop deep leadership skills, learn about the challenges and solutions facing the Berkshires, and discover how to apply central leadership tenets to their own lives and their future careers.
As the premier youth leadership development program in the region, YLP will expand participants' horizons. Come enjoy this experience of a lifetime!
