Originally posted 12/19/2007
The First Annual Minnesota Youth Leadership Academy (MYLA) at the Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Academy held at Camp Ripley in Little Falls, Minnesota, turned out so well that next year’s curriculum is already in the works.
This one-week residential program came at no cost to the students — young men ages 14-16 — and provided a secured learning environment for lessons in leadership, fellowship, responsible citizenship, health, community service, and life coping skills such as conflict resolution and anger management. Because this program is culturally specific, African American young men were targeted for the Minnesota Academy, with 17 young men in attendance in July 2007. More >>>>www.spokesman-recorder.com
