YMCA leadership programs are founded on our long-standing commitment to youth development, community engagement, and personal growth. With deep roots in our local communities and the foundation of inclusivity, healthy living, and social responsibility, the goal of YMCA leadership development is to guide and inspire young people, fostering a safe and supportive environment for leadership growth.

The YMCA of Petrolia will be running our Junior Leaders program between April 30th – June 11th on Wednesdays between 6-7pm.

Our Junior Leaders program is designed for emerging leaders or individuals new to leadership roles. It focuses on the fundamentals of leadership through interactive workshops, case studies and self-reflection, with the goal to build a strong foundation. Junior Leaders will cover a total of 10 skill categories, each diving into specific areas of each skill: Self-reflection, Active listening, Collaboration, Problem-Solving, Time Management, Flexibility, Understanding Fairness, Setting Personal Goals, Task Prioritization, and Empathy
