At The Just One Project, we believe in the power of community to transform lives, especially when it comes to our youth. Our Leadership Academy is a testament to this belief, offering young adults in Southern Nevada the opportunity to unlock their potential and step into leadership roles within their communities. This 90-day program is more than just a course; it’s a journey toward self-discovery, empowerment, and lasting change.
The Heart of the Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy was founded with a clear purpose: to inspire, impact, and change the lives of young adults aged 16-20 who are currently disconnected from school or employment. We know that every young person has the potential to be a leader, and our program is designed to bring that potential to life. Through a blend of personal development, career guidance, and civic engagement, we’re helping participants build the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
What We Offer
The Just One Project’s 90-day youth program is designed for young adults aged 16 to 20, offering a comprehensive curriculum that equips participants with essential life skills. Here’s some of what participants can expect:
- Civic Engagement Through Volunteering: We emphasize the importance of giving back to the community. Participants are actively involved in volunteer projects, allowing them to learn firsthand the value of civic responsibility and the impact they can have on their community.
- Mental Health Awareness: Understanding and managing mental health is a crucial part of our program. Participants engage in sessions that focus on self-care, emotional intelligence, and building healthy relationships, all of which are essential for their personal growth and well-being.
- Career and Life Skills: We prepare participants for their future by teaching them practical skills that will help them succeed in both their professional and personal lives. From career planning and education development to personal finance and communication, our program covers all the bases to ensure they are ready for the challenges ahead.
Real Stories, Real Impact
The impact of the Leadership Academy is visible in the stories of our graduates. They leave the program not just with new skills, but with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Many have gone on to pursue higher education, secure meaningful employment, and take active roles in their communities. By providing a supportive environment and the right resources, we’re helping to break the cycle of generational poverty and create a brighter future for all.
The Leadership Academy is about more than just teaching skills—it’s about inspiring the next generation to realize their full potential and make a positive impact on the world around them. At The Just One Project, we’re proud to be part of their journey and excited to see the difference these young leaders will make in our community.
