Equipping Young People to Lead

The Maxwell Leadership Certified Team’s Youth Certification is a youth development program designed to teach young people to learn the critical life skills necessary to navigate life with confidence, courage and character.

While youth are taking courses for their own development, they also learn how to present the material to their peers so they can earn money as a speaker, peer coach, trainer or workshop facilitator. Adult MLCT members may also use the program with both youth and adults.

We believe young people can lead right where they are. The Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Youth Certification program helps them learn the attitudes, competencies, values and social skills that will carry them forward into successful adulthood.

This program powerfully equips youth to lead themselves and others to make a difference in their home, at school and in their community. It may also be used with adults to help them learn how to lead the next generation.

YOUTH CERTIFICATION CONTENT WILL INCLUDE:

* Note: Some courses under Youth Certification are for Youth Members only. Adults will not have access to these courses. Some of these courses include Speaker Training and MarketSmart for Youth.
