YLEAD is a summer leadership and service program for high school students in the Lehigh Valley. Participants develop critical leadership skills while working to support nonprofit organizations through service projects and volunteering. Youth in the program are provided with the encouragement, peer networks and leadership skills necessary for them to make meaningful connections and contributions to their communities.

Each summer, the program is developed and run by two college interns. If you are interested in learning more about this internship opportunity, please email sierra@volunteerlv.org or julie@volunteerlv.org
