Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: Young People in Action Unveils Exciting Leadership Contest
In the heart of Franklin County, Ohio, a transformative movement is taking shape as Young People in Action The YPA Leadership Contest: (YPA) announces its highly anticipated Leadership Contest. With a mission rooted in empowering young individuals, YPA has been a beacon of positive change for nearly three decades.

The contest is not merely a competition; it is a pathway for young individuals to discover their leadership capabilities, connect with like-minded peers, and contribute positively to their communities.
How It Works: Open to over 10,000 students in the Franklin County School District, the contest invites participants to showcase their leadership potential through a multi-faceted approach.

These entries will include personal videos, bios, and details about their backgrounds, interests, and aspirations. Moreover, YPA has strategically partnered with schools to ensure that every eligible student receives an invitation to participate, delivered directly through school administrations via letters or emails to students and parents.
The Kick-off Event: To ignite the excitement surrounding the contest, YPA will host a kick-off event. This event will not only mark the official launch of the Leadership Contest but will also serve as a platform for students, parents, and potential sponsors to learn more about YPA’s mission and the exciting opportunities the contest presents.
What Participants Can Win: The YPA Leadership Contest is not just about recognition—it’s about providing tangible support to nurture leadership potential. Winners will be selected to form the 2024 Leadership Team, with 10 outstanding young women and 10 remarkable young men earning the coveted title.
