Why I'm Supporting Youth Corps As a community member and proud board member of Youth Corps, I've seen firsthand the powerful impact this program has on young people across the Midlands. Youth Corps equips high school students with the confidence, skills, and real-world experiences they need to lead-at school, in their communities, and in life. I support Youth Corps because I believe in investing in our future leaders. These students are thoughtful, driven, and ready to make a difference-all they need is the opportunity. During Midlands Gives, I'm asking you to join me. Your support helps ensure more students have access to the kind of leadership development that changes lives-and strengthens our entire community.

Through community-led experiential learning and leadership development, Youth Corps aspires to create leaders out of 9th and 10th grade students who are encouraged to live a life of influence, be productive citizens, lifelong learners, and take responsibility for their lives and community.
