ICA's mentoring-based Youth Leadership Program for middle and high school students helps to develop wholesome teens equipped to succeed. This program provides individual attention to students and recent immigrants by focusing on academic assistance, early-stage career planning and social development.  We pair each student with a mentor who spends a minimum of 8 hours every month working on specific development goals.  The curriculum is designed to encourage students to think critically about themselves and about some of the most pressing issues in the community.
