Youth Leadership Academy

Creating Leaders and Inspiring Scholars!
Our Cadets and Parents
Our cadets are students ranging from 7th to 12th grade who live in Elgin Community College District 509, which includes Illinois school districts U-46, D300, D301 and D303. They train together to be future leaders in college, the post-college workplace, and the community at large.
Parent participation is one of our greatest factors as an organization. For the past 3 years, 100% of our parents participated in at least 4 workshops per year with an average of 51 parents per workshop.
