The Leader in Youth Program (LYP) is a 40-hour program targeting low-income high-school and middle-school-aged youth. CSL teaches low-income youth Five Critical Skill Areas that enable them to learn the leadership skills necessary to identify and pursue the careers of their choice and to find and sustain themselves in healthy, meaningful careers.
