Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: Young People in Action Unveils Exciting Leadership Contest

Sharon S Gordon January 8, 2024

In the heart of Franklin County, Ohio, a transformative movement is taking shape as Young People in Action The YPA Leadership Contest: (YPA) announces its highly anticipated Leadership Contest. With a mission rooted in empowering young individuals, YPA has been a beacon of positive change for nearly three decades. Now, with the launch of the Leadership Contest, they are set to elevate their impact on an unprecedented scale. 

A Legacy of Empowerment: Founded in 1984 by a 17-year-old homeless teenager in Columbus, Ohio, YPA has evolved into a dynamic force dedicated to cultivating leadership, fostering community engagement, and empowering the youth. Over the years, YPA has touched the lives of thousands, instilling in them the values of leadership, service, and personal development.

YPA Leadership: At the core of YPA’s commitment to youth empowerment lies the Leadership Contest—an initiative designed to identify and celebrate the extraordinary potential within the youth of Franklin County. The contest is not merely a competition; it is a pathway for young individuals to discover their leadership capabilities, connect with like-minded peers, and contribute positively to their communities. 

How It Works: Open to over 10,000 students in the Franklin County School District, the contest invites participants to showcase their leadership potential through a multi-faceted approach. Utilizing YPA’s dedicated social media platform, students will submit their entries via a contest portal. These entries will include personal videos, bios, and details about their backgrounds, interests, and aspirations. Moreover, YPA has strategically partnered with schools to ensure that every eligible student receives an invitation to participate, delivered directly through school administrations via letters or emails to students and parents. 

The Kick-off Event: To ignite the excitement surrounding the contest, YPA will host a kick-off event. This event will not only mark the official launch of the Leadership Contest but will also serve as a platform for students, parents, and potential sponsors to learn more about YPA’s mission and the exciting opportunities the contest presents. 

What Participants Can Win: The YPA Leadership Contest is not just about recognition—it’s about providing tangible support to nurture leadership potential. Winners will be selected to form the 2024 Leadership Team, with 10 outstanding young women and 10 remarkable young men earning the coveted title. Prizes include a 3-day Chapter Leadership Youth Retreat, laptops, video cameras, college tours, and mentorship training—a comprehensive package that goes beyond acknowledgment to provide tools for ongoing growth and development. 

Sponsorship Opportunities: As YPA opens the doors to its Leadership Contest, they extend an invitation to businesses and organizations to become sponsors and partners in this transformative journey. Sponsorship levels range from Platinum Leader to Friend of YPA, offering varying levels of visibility, recognition, and exclusive access to participants and events. Join the Movement: 
Young People in Action is more than an organization; it’s a movement dedicated to nurturing the potential within every young person. The Leadership Contest is a testament to YPA’s commitment to creating a legacy of empowered leaders who will shape the future. Join the movement, support the youth, and be a part of this extraordinary journey towards a brighter tomorrow. Visit www.youngpeopleinaction.com  for more information
