​Characteristics of Leaders
Allison Perkins,
​University of Georgia 4-H
July 17, 2025
According to the National Resource Center for Youth Development, "Leadership training prepares youth to manage time, work as a team, set goals, start conversations, facilitate meetings, and make effective presentations. Promoting youth leadership development is a great way to promote positive life skills learning." Developing youth leadership can present challenges, such as the belief that young people are incapable of leadership, undefined goals, and limited time and resources. The webinar will share a local development program with integrity, self-awareness, vision, confidence, communication, and teamwork lessons.​
