The Program
The LeaderSpark Program is for ALL youth. Program participants come from a range of social and economic backgrounds; from large urban high schools to small private schools; from having diverse leadership experiences to having no leadership experience. This program provides the skills necessary to participate successfully in groups and to lead school organizations, the workplace and society. We want to connect with young people who can be leaders today as well as developing leadership skills for tomorrow.

The LeaderSpark Model
For organizations looking to provide leadership skills development, LeaderSpark offers a proven curriculum. The LeaderSpark model is based on "Awareness, Practice and Application" as the three methods to develop and support emerging leaders today and to strengthen groups and communities tomorrow. "Awareness," both of self and of others, is built into all aspects of the curriculum. Program participants are encouraged to become more aware of their personal leadership behaviors and the behaviors of others. "Practice" is reflected in the structure of the topic sessions. Youth participants are not passive learners, but rather are actively engaged in large and small group interactions, discussing issues relevant to them, their organizations and their projects. "Application" is the overall goal of the LeaderSpark training. The awareness, knowledge, skills and practiced behaviors of group leadership can be applied immediately. The curriculum deals with real problems and offers practical solutions.

Tens of millions of Americans consider their morning juice sacrosanct. As scientists zero in on the causes of ever rising waist lines and obesity rates, however, sugary drinks, including what were once considered healthy fruit juices, have emerged as a primary culprit.
“But wait, I thought fruit juices were supposed to be good for me?” you ask. According to Dr. Robert Lustig, “The upside of juice consumption is so infinitesimal compared to the downside that we shouldn’t even be having this discussion.”
The inconvenient truth, many experts say, is that 100% fruit juice poses the same obesity-related health risks as Coke, Pepsi and other widely vilified beverages.
Fortunately, Yoli has the solution. Isn’t it time for everyone to rethink their drink? Over 1 million dollars in sales our 1st month alone. How big a piece of that pie would you like?
