Teen Leaders Club at the YMCA of the Suncoast is an annual, year-long Y-based service and leadership development program for teens ages 13-18. The purpose of the YMCA of the Suncoast Leaders Club is to provide teens with experience and training to influence college knowledge, academics, positive relationships, life skills, and positive identity.
This program is focused on overall wellness, character development, and service. The Leaders club program aims to foster a sense of belonging and achievement for all of those who are involved. Teens are paired with a YMCA adviser that serves in a positive mentor relationship to help guide and develop the teens and program.

The program’s objectives are to:
encourage a life-long spirit of service and volunteerism;
foster personal growth and character development;
