| YPA was founded on February 10, 1984, by a 17 year old young man from the inner city of Columbus, Ohio. Young People In Action is a unique concept. It is one, out of a few youth organizations, that is primarily run by its members. The youth are truly the leaders. It is also unique, in that, it is a formally structured organization, but can be better understood as a "leadership movement of young people."
A Movement made up of:
* young people who desire to grow and to make a change in themselves and their surroundings.
* positive role models who help one another to maintain a positive outlook.
* peer on peer support, camaraderie and networking.
* members who stress that young people are people too. That their issues and concerns must be given attention and their methods of solving broad-base community issues must be taken into consideration when attempting to bring about social change.
* young leaders who facilitate through an organized structure of competence building training, exercises and activities.
* young leaders poised to ultimately transform leadership development into a socially embraced discipline, which is excepted and promoted by youth as the adequate way for them to reach their full potential.
Along with being a leadership movement of young people, we also offer other professional services and programs:
1. The Development of YPA Chapters
2. Hosting An Annual Leadership Conference
3. Summer Leadership Camps
4. Consulting Solutions
5. Specialized/Customized Training Workshops |
