Youth Leadership is generally defined as the practice of teens and young adults exercising the authority over themselves. Further elaborated by Learning to Give as a “theory of youth development as a process that prepares young people to navigate adolescence and realize their potential as an adult”. Most youth leadership initiatives are backed by youth leadership programs which were formed to support and focus youth energy into positive activities that lead to the development of skills necessary to a successful transition into adulthood.
