| IV. Youth Leadership
Program
A home school provider would like to offer the YLP on Monday nights at her home starting at 6:30 pm in New Brighton (Twin Cities). Dates are tentatively Sept 20 - Nov 15. She is anticipating 10-15 students. There is another opportunity in the works for a YLP in St Louis Park in the November time frame. This would be an afternoon offering at a private school. I'm having difficulty connecting with the point of contact on this one so details are still sketchy. Just a reminder ... being a Youth Leadership Program coordinator is one of the ways to fulfill one of the criteria for an ATM-G. Please contact Dave Deutsch for further information.
