Youth Lead Charlotte-Mecklenburg

High school freshmen and sophomores: want to learn how your city works AND how you can make a difference as a young civic leader? Apply to be part of Youth Lead Charlotte-Mecklenburg 2019!

The Youth Civic Leadership Academy connects emerging leaders from different schools and backgrounds. Join a growing network of young civic leaders!

High school students collaborate over a semester to learn how the community works, meet students from different schools and backgrounds, and develop knowledge and skills needed by a new generation of Charlotte-Mecklenburg civic leaders. 2019 marks the 5th year of the innovative program.

Participants meet approximately twice a month January-May with peers and community leaders to learn about the community’s history and growth, explore the city and its successes and challenges, and join a growing network of emerging student civic leaders. After completing YLCM, participants will continue their civic leadership as active leaders in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Youth Council. (If you are already representing your school in CMYC, this program prepares you leadership in youth council and other organizations).
