Description
This course introduces youth aged 13 – 15 to the key leadership skills necessary to developing personal and interpersonal growth, as well a chance to practice them through volunteer hours, and pre-employment preparation. Course lessons expose students to three key ideas:
1. Introspection and self-assessment
2. Interacting with others in a team setting
3. Future Planning
Students can expect to leave the course with verified volunteer hours through Coquitlam’s volunteer program, a draft resume resulting from resume building workshops, and experience participating in activities designed to stimulate personal growth including teambuilding activities, journaling, public speaking and mock interviews. Students are also introduced to the City of Coquitlam's Youth Strategy as part of a feedback and brainstorming session.
