Description for your course: This rural youth civic leadership curriculum guides students and their adult volunteer or club leader through hands‑on learning about rural community engagement, leadership, and entrepreneurship. While completing the program, participants form a Youth Action Council tasked with exploring their community, identifying local needs, and developing solutions. Through structured modules and experiential activities, students learn how communities work, how to collaborate across generations, and how to communicate and lead effectively. By the end of the course, the Youth Action Council implements a student‑designed project that creates meaningful and sustainable change in their rural community.
