What is the Youth Leadership Council?
Mitchell Thorp Foundation has a strong commitment to developing and inspiring youth leadership in our community and that is why we developed the Youth Leadership Council. The membership consists of 9th—12th grade students representing public and private schools throughout the San Diego region. Students are selected through an application process. The primary focus areas of the program are community service and servant leadership development. Our objective is to foster young leaders in professional and life skills, while having fun. Members will participate in servant leadership training sessions and have the opportunity to plan and carry out activities. The students will be hosting a major fundraising event every year in support of Mitchell Thorp Foundation's mission. Be sure to read the Youth Leadership Council Mission, Vision, and Values.
Why join the Youth Leadership Council?
Each student will have numerous opportunities to see first-hand how their personal contributions benefit Mitchell Thorp Foundation's mission of service. Students have the opportunity to take leadership roles in projects that are initiated by the foundation, or that they create. Our objective is that these experiences develop and reinforce in the students a fundamental approach to leadership through service, and that it will benefit them throughout their lifetimes and professional careers.
