Fostering leadership in youth & young adults through campus engagement and alumni connection.

Founded in 2009, Young Christian Leaders (YCL) Development Programs is an independent nonprofit organization committed to raising up the next generation of strong, Christ-centered leaders. We equip middle and high school students with the training, resources, and guidance needed to lead thriving Christian groups on their campuses. In addition, our growing alumni program continues to support and develop young adults as they live out their faith and leadership beyond high school.

*Please keep in mind that while we want to share all of our incredible work, our primary concern is the safety of the youth we work with. The content on this site provides as much transparency as possible while prioritizing the privacy and security of minors. The full extent of our programming extends beyond what is reflected on this site.

Help students & young adults become great leaders!
