Young 校友 Leaders Program
Professional development for 俄亥俄州’s next generation of volunteer leaders.
关于 Young 校友 Leaders
The purpose of the Young 校友 Leaders (YAL) program is to empower recent 俄亥俄州 alumni to engage with the University and provide them with the skills and connections they need to be successful in becoming a future Bobcat volunteer leader. Focus will be given to the personal and professional development of cohort members with lessons and experiences relevant to both work and life to prepare you for future volunteer roles.
While we will have occasional, optional volunteering opportunities, our time together will be spent learning how to be an exceptional volunteer leader.
