LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Healthy ethical leadership is born out of a clear commitment to one’s personal values. Good leaders have good
values and exercise them on a daily basis. We teach young people how to lead. We believe that a young person’
s beliefs and values will determine their quality of life. Our Leadership Development Program takes place in a
team environment with an emphasis on values, character development, and community service. We do this by
partnering with area schools and clubs to provide a strategy for leadership development. We also partner with
area businesses and churches to provide role models of effective leadership.

‘AT RISK’ YOUTH
“At Risk” youth are recognized as having the potential to drop out of school, display destructive behavior, or make
poor choices of peer groups. They are youth that may have had early problems with the law. Youth Strategies
wants to help these young people turn around and become productive and employable members of society.
Through our values based program we provide adventure camping, life and job skills training, and personal goal
development which will give them hope for the future.

ADVENTURE CAMPING
Adventure camping is a great opportunity to get young people out and away from the influences and
circumstances that can be holding them back from achievement. It allows them to gain a fresh perspective on
their life, their goals, and the steps they need to take to achieve them. Youth Strategies offers a back packing
program, kayak and canoe trips, as well as a ropes course challenge. For many young people this kind of

KIDS WITH DISABILITIES
Youth Strategies works to serve young people with disabilities. We work to place teens in programs serving
young children with disabilities through a partnership with the Arkansas Support Network's Kid's Club. We want
to create opportunities for every young person to be a productive part of their community. We see the potential of
active participation of teenagers with disabilities in our Teen Enterprises and will work towards that end.

Youth Strategies is committed to developing enterprises, in partnership with area businesses, where young
people can start their own businesses and learn first hand, under the tutelage of accomplished companies in
the area, what it takes to run and succeed in business. There are currently five business models being explored
with the goal of beginning the first business the summer of 2009.

SUMMER MENTORSHIPS
interns will work side by side on a daily basis on one of our potential teen enterprises. They will lead in our
Adventure Camping program. They will help coordinate community service projects. Their most vital role will be
mentoring teens on our Core Values and ‘coaching’ them in a hands on way. We believe relationships with
healthy role models are crucial to personal development. Our summer intern program will be a valuable program
for both our teens and our summer interns.
