The Youth Leadership Program (YLC) is in its fortieth year
of providing rural youth an opportunity to learn about electric
cooperatives, along with other important information about
cooperatives in general. The program brings in national and
local speakers to talk about leadership roles and activities
that they might see themselves providing in their future.
Because this is a leadership program participant from the
previous year’s program are the ones who setup and run
the following year’s program. The YLC delegates decide
who the speakers will be and what kind of activities the new
YLC participants will encounter. This event is run by our
youths and setup by them, it’s truly a youth leadership
program.
The program takes place at the UW – River Falls
Campus. Participants will have 3-days and 2-nights of fun
with lots of learning opportunities and the prospect to  make
friends from other students from around our state. Clark Electric
ask the local FFA and/or FBLA advisors from the area schools
to choose our student representatives.
The students that participate have many more opportunities
such as scholarships, and the chance to be one of next year
teen leaders. The YLC youth board has the occasion to travel
to Washington D.C. to the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Youth Days, which is a fun weeklong trip with more history
on our nation and the cooperatives way of live as it centers
around our great nation.
