Youth2Lead is a civic learning program that teachers lead at their own schools, either after school or as part of regular instruction. Designed for grades 4–8, the program guides students to develop and implement solutions to community problems. Participants select a community problem to tackle, collect and analyze survey data on the problem, develop a detailed solution, and promote the solution through advocacy and service projects.
The program curriculum focuses on helping students develop:
An understanding of civic issues and a sense of responsibility to address them
Data analysis skills
Persuasive speaking and writing skills
Empower your students to make an impact in their communities! We are looking for highly effective educators in the St. Louis region to implement Youth2Lead at their schools in the 2026-27 school year with compensation. Click here to learn more and apply.
Youth2Lead is an initiative of the Aspirations Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are grateful for generous support from the Frick Initiative at the Washington University School of Law.
