YLA GLOBAL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY 2018


PLAN INTERNATIONAL ATTENDEES
AMBER CARBAJAL, ANGELINA ALLEN, ALBERTA GBLA, JACE MARQUARDT

The purpose of Plan International USA’s Youth Leadership Academy is to build the capacity of youth in leadership and civic engagement, while increasing knowledge about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this week-long academy, high-achieving youth, many from underserved communities, will be equipped with the skills and leadership capacity to return to their communities and implement a Leadership Development Project (LDP) that addresses at least one Sustainable Development Goal in their own community.

​After the YLA, participants will engage in quarterly capacity-building workshops with Plan staff and will be supported by mentors they identify and recruit prior to attending the YLA. Through the YLA, young people will expand their knowledge about international development and the SDGs and will have the opportunity to engage in the international development community in the U.S. through Plan.

Too busy to talk!

Catching up with these guys has been next to impossible to update the blog!  They have kept them busy from sun up to sun down, but they seem to be having a tremendous time.  They had a session Wednesday on environmental sustainability and because I am on a sustainable farming project in Mexico City with 11 other educators, I asked them to send me a video on what they learned and their thoughts.  That was really fun to see!

Amber:  I really enjoyed when plan employees came to speak to us and asked us questions on how we could help their future campaigns be successful because it made me feel like my voice mattered.  As far as leadership, I learned that it is important to celebrate the small things and really show appreciation towards others so our projects can be successful.  I also learned that all the SDG's are related to one another.  Also, when thinking about solutions to problems, even if it sounds impossible, that idea can lead to something great.

Jace:  I'm planning on starting a club at my school called Students for Endangered Species where we raise awareness about the issue and raise money for non-profit organizations.

Angelina:  We focused a lot today on motivation.  In the words of one of our leaders, Anesu, "we all have the ability to create change."  He also talked to me about how I've really grown the last few days and I've become less shy.  I've been speaking out a lot more and he's been really impressed with my improvement.  Today in the talent show, Alberta, Kalie, and I did a step dance.  Which was a huge improvement for me because I normally wouldn't put myself out there like that.  As for my Leadership Development Project, I want to create a club at Mariner to talk about modern racism, microaggressions, and other cultures.  I want to inform people that racism is still happening and it continues to exist everywhere.  Since I can't start this until school begins, I am planning community clean up days, where I get as many people as possible to go out and pick up trash on our streets.
