YMCA Youth Leadership Development Program

The Youth Leadership Development (YLD) Program gives youth ages 10-18 a chance to grow as individuals and learn what it means to be a leader in their community. Youth explore relevant issues in today’s society in a safe and fun environment while building positive relationships and preparing for their future.

The workshops are delivered by YMCA staff/volunteers and SFU volunteers at the SFU CEC located at the City Centre Library (10350 University Drive, Surrey BC) in room 401 from 6:30pm-8:30pm every Thursday starting in October and running until June.
