Why is Youth Leadership Development important? For youth to be prepared to work in partnership with adults, they need to develop and enhance their leadership skills. Leadership training prepares youth to manage time, work as a team, set goals, start conversations, facilitate meetings, and make a difference. Promoting youth leadership development is a great way to promote positive life skills learning and prepare the next generation of leaders in the businesses, churches, and community. The Siemer Milling Company Endowment awards grants to programs aimed at developing youth (ages 19 and under) to become extraordinary leaders by investing in the leadership skills required for improving the shared life, such as: Enterprise Savvy โ€” The ability to leverage opportunities with integrity and innovation; to make the right decisions and achieve results. Conscience โ€” Strong moral/religious character, working to have an ethical impact on the community. Collaborative Communication โ€” The ability to engage others inclusively across teams, functions, and cultures, effectively marketing ideas.
