Initially CPY’s program was intended for students through fifth grade, but we found our students not wanting to leave. Therefore we established a middle school leadership and life skills program.
After participating in a day long training we give our middle school students the title of “Junior Leader” along with the responsibility of helping staff and working with the younger children in our program. As many of our students become Junior Leaders they are reflecting for the first time on what it means to be a role model, and more importantly what it means to be a positive one.
