Youth Leaders of Promise
The Youth Leaders of Promise (YLOP) program was developed by the Center for Ethical Leadership in the early 1990s as part of a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to train citizens in a model of ethical leadership aimed at promoting the common good. The YLOP program was conducted for four years as a summer program that brought together young people from diverse neighborhoods and cities in the Seattle area, for a common experience in leadership development, team building, and community project work.
The program subsequently was conducted as a semester-long class for sophomores within Seattle area high schools including Nathan Hale, Cleveland and Franklin. The Center provided the curriculum, lesson plans and the training to teachers to enable them to conduct the class. The program ended when schools were pushed to focus teaching and classroom time to elements that were on standardized tests only.
The YLOP Curriculum is available for schools and educators. Contact the Center for more information.
