Y-Link means students helping students!
Y-Link is short for Youth Leadership in Kansas. Y-Link provides youth with a unique learning experience while interacting with peers, supportive adults,and their communities in positive ways. Y-Link lays the foundation for successful future endeavors, as students learn and explore the real world.
Y-Link supports a youth conference annually to celebrate the successes of its local groups. National speakers join the youth, attend breakout learning sessions on multiple topics, and have a lot of fun! Y-Link offers an opportunity for young adults to develop community awareness and youth leadership skills during the formative ages of 12 to 18.
This year we have been talking about what activities students have discussed possible projects. As an example in October, students discussed one possible way to destress: writing positive pumpkins. For December, students are making Christmas trees instead of pumpkins. The students are going to the State Capitol in Topeka in March.
