LFS Youth Class
Creating Tomorrow's Leaders Today
Leadership for Five Seasons
Youth LFS
The Youth Leadership for Five Seasons Program is comprised of 30-35 Cedar Rapids Metro area high school students each year that demonstrate leadership qualities and have a concern for their community. Students become acquainted with community needs, opportunities, problems, and resources, while experiencing interaction with community leaders, decision makers, various career paths, and each other.
Students interested in Youth LFS from qualifying high schools must apply in the spring of their sophomore year through their school’s guidance office. Applications open after spring break and are due to the guidance office by or before the first week in May. (Check with your guidance office for specific deadlines, application materials, and letter of recommendation guidelines.) Individuals selected are notified sometime in May and participate August-March of their junior year. In the event that a selected student cannot commit to program dates, alternates will be notified.
