Meet Josh

He attended YLSC Summer Camp in 2023 unsure of what kind of leader he wanted to be and interested in understanding the ways he could shape his community

Now...he has helped plan the summit three times, supports YAC, and is a deeply impactful leader within YLSC and in school!

Meet Madison

She joined YLSC as a student in 2021 during a district event that YLSC hosted. She was needed a place to turn her frustration into action.

Now...she is a proud Alum and went on to be a YLSC Fellow for 2 years. The leadership skills YLSC cultivated laid the foundation for her to impact YLSC in the years to come.

Meet Emmy and Maddie

Emmy is an alum of YLSC who decided to start a YLSC Campus Club as her senior project. She wanted to bring the values and safe space YLSC created to her school, and deeply cherished the role YLSC has played in her story.

Now...Maddie, her younger sister, serves as the president of the Rangel YLSC Campus Club for the 2026-2027 school year. The club continues to transform after its creation in 2023.
