What is Advancing Leadership Youth?  Read the class notes from ALY 101:

WHAT: Advancing Leadership Youth brings together teens from all over the city for a comprehensive community experience. Students graduate from the ALY program ready to take their places within the new generation of leaders.  This program is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors.  The Premier Sponsors of ALY are The Comcast Foundation and Federal Way Public Schools.

WHY: To nurture and develop positive leadership attributes in Federal Way area high school students, to drive change in their communities.  This student version of the original Advancing Leadership program began in 2005.

WHO: The program is comprised of high school sophomores and juniors of diverse cultures and economic backgrounds. Participants are selected from applications submitted by high school students throughout Federal Way.

WHEN: Each spring, information sessions are held at the major high schools and applications are made available to all eligible Federal Way students (current freshman and sophomores).  Once participants are chosen, they are presented at the graduation of the existing class, then begin their own ALY class with a two-day retreat in August.
