LYNC Youth Leadership Development – Leadership Niagara

Description:

LYNC is an eight-month leadership development program designed for youth to discover the leader within while learning about our community. The program is available to 100 students from 13 local high schools each year through a multi-year grant from the Irene E. Witkowski Agrawal Foundation. Participants in the LYNC program receive a highly structured, open-ended opportunity to collaborate, to examine important institutions and programs across Western New York, to analyze complex social trends and social problems in the nation and across the globe and to investigate avenues for personal success in society, business, and schooling. The LYNC Class is taught and mentored by a team of leadership experts and LN graduates.


Participants may extend their learning and participation in LYNC in a course taught by Dr. Paul Vermette of Niagara University and Luke Kantor, LN `13 and LYNC Facilitator. The 3-credit course focuses on the issues of diversity and globalization, democratic citizenship, leadership in personal and organizational frameworks and individual development.
