Center for Leadership Development programs equip students and parents with the tools, character development, values, and skills they need to flourish and overcome obstacles while enriching their communities. Through Indianapolis Youth Development, CLD prepares students for a lifetime of success. More than 50,000 students and families have been impacted by CLD and are now leading, serving, and transforming their communities.
Every individual has the potential to thrive and excel at the highest level of achievement and become positive influencers in their community, regardless of background, income, race, or zip code.
Recognizing the need to reach and elevate more youth, CLD programs are now being offered at satellite and in-school locations in addition to CLD. Participants in these programs increase their school attendance and academic performance as well as become positive role models for their peers.
The Center for Leadership Development depends on more than 200 volunteer program facilitators to accomplish our mission of advancing minority youth to be future professional, business, and community leaders. Our need for volunteers is always growing to assist with Indianapolis Youth Development.
