YIA LEADING WITH

The organization Youth In Action appears to be a very empowering program for high school students. Their collective phase seems to highlight the most the idea of leading with. This phase doesn't just get students involved, but gives them power as well. The youth are able to have a position on the board of directors, giving them a seat "at the table". They also participate and organize fundraisers for the organization allowing them to have a hand in the finances of the nonprofit. Also, this gives them the opportunity to fundraise for what they think is most important to the program. The biggest way this organization creates a leading with environment is creating and changing policy WITH the youth. This type of relationship between youth and adult is not commonly seen.
