| This typology, used as a tool for
program design, provides one means for linking the individual and collective causes
of youth leadership. The objective is relatively straightforward: to construct experiences
that help young people acquire the identified leadership competencies, in the context
of building community and addressing social causes. Communication. Make a persuasive argument to a stranger; give a public speech to engage participation of others, write a personal essay; prepare a press release. Teamwork Show respect and regard for one another; take on both leader and follower roles; build on the strengths of self and others; commit to freedom of expression. Personal Identity Understand the relationship between self and community; have pride in being part of a group larger than one's self; identify areas for self improvement and respond; take responsibility for the consequences of one's actions. Professionalism Demonstrate a sense of tact and protocol; dress and act given an assessment of context; understand and strive for quality in one's work; present oneself in a positive light to strangers. Project Management Set goals and action steps; facilitate meetings and reflection; recognize the difference between community needs and one's own interests.
