Rising Stars Youth Leadership

Do you believe young people are prepared to become tomorrow’s leaders?

Do they have the skills future employers need?

Are their scholastic results what they should be?

Would you like to see our youth stop engaging in health compromising behavior?

Could we do a better job of preparing our young people to … climb higher, reach farther, and perform better?

The Rising Stars Process is designed to help today's youth develop their personal leadership skills and begin to set goals and directions for their lives beginning at an earlier age. Leadership is essential in enabling youth to develop character, confidence, and values that promote the understanding of healthy behavior.

Rising Stars is an innovative and unique inside-out self-development process. This research-based approach focuses on three critical elements that promote personal leadership, healthy behaviors, and the skills employers identify as essential. These elements are developed, applied, and reinforced throughout the process and through a follow-up process to strengthen and perpetuate successful behaviors.

Some of the many positive outcomes of Rising Stars participants include:

• Academic performance and attendance increased
• Increased high school graduation rate
• Increased post-secondary attendance and completion
• Reduction of disciplinary or truancy incidents
• Reduction in recidivism
• Seeking options and choosing positive alternatives to life’s challenges
• Ability to make goal-oriented informed decisions
• Social confidence and effective communications in diverse situations
• Leadership, time management, and conflict resolution skills
