Welcome to Youth Leaders for America (YLA)!
YLA is a community of homeschooling families in Sanpete County. YLA is dedicated to raising up youth who are prepared to stand for faith, liberty and truth, who will lead in their homes and communities, and will postivily impact the world for good. We meet for weekly classes and host year-round activities and events for youth and families who are part of the YLA Community.
Is my family right for YLA? Is YLA right for my family?
YLA is not a "one size fits all" communtiy. YLA may be right for you if you can answer affirmatively to the following statements:
We want to be contributing members of a homeschool community of like-minded individuals who love and support one another in our homeschooling efforts
We are looking for classes and social activities for our homeschool youth ages 11 and older (as of Sept. 1st) as we homeschool through high school.
We are looking for passionate mentors, not particular curriculum or program
Our family has been homeschooling the youth interested in attending YLA for a minimum of 1 full year, in the last 12 months or more.
We are looking for classes to supplement our youths' home education and social experiences, not a full course load or a complete education program
Our family upholds principles of Christian faith, freedom and family unity
We have read, or will commit to read, A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver Demille before attending our first semester at YLA
We can commit to a minimum of 10 volunteer hours in the community and to attending 3 parent nights during the school year.
My homeschool Scholars have the attention span to sit through and be respectful in a group classroom environment
We can support our youth in fulfilling their commitments for classes by helping them follow through with their assignments and being prepared each week
We will be responsible for communicating with each mentor our youth chooses to enroll with as well as keeping up and responsive to emails and updates within the community
