About

Our Mission

Since 1980, Maine Youth Leadership (MYL) has worked with Maine youth to seek out, recognize and develop their leadership skills. Our goal is to motivate Maine’s future leaders and create a network of civic-minded students who will better their communities through volunteering. Our programs encourage and assist students at critical times in their quest for self- identification and development and we provide give-and-take discussions with thought leaders and role models from across Maine society.

What We Do

Each spring, we invite a tenth grade “ambassador” from every public and private high school to participate in a 4-day leadership seminar held at the University of Southern Maine campus in Gorham. All MYL events are provided at no cost to the student, parent or school, ever.- MYL is an all-volunteer organization (non-profit 501-c) with no paid staff.- 98% of our spending goes directly to programs that benefit students. The remaining 2% goes to administrative costs.- All MYL programs are paid for through the generous support from individuals and businesses across Maine.

Motivating Maine’s Future Leaders. That’s what Maine Youth Leadership is all about. Make a Tax deductible donation and help us make a difference now and for Maine’s future.
