?? Kids want to be known?? "Fewer than half of Gen Z (46%) feel their parents or guardians understand them." "A lot of times it’s not about wanting advice [or] them saying what they think I should do; it’s about having somebody to listen. If I’m upset about something or something happened … maybe sometimes I’ll ask for advice, but a lot of the time, I just [want someone to] listen and understand, or at least try to." – Barna Research ? This insight reminds us of an important truth: Kids want to be known—not just for what they do, but for who they are. Leaders in #YLSouthCentralPA are meeting teens where they are—schools, community centers, and local hangouts—to listen, support, and care. They’re providing the understanding and presence every young person deserves. ?? Together, we’re building bridges and making an impact. Consider helping to champion this generation! ?? #YoungLife #GenZ #Leadership #GenZValues

I truly admire what Dawn Medley Ed.D and the Drexel University enrollment and admissions teams are doing, and absolutely LOVE seeing this well deserved recognition for their hard work. Admissions professionals work tirelessly to bring in the students who keep universities running—yet their efforts often go unseen by the broader institution. This is NOT a job for the faint of heart. From strategic marketing and recruitment to navigating shifting demographics and student expectations, these teams are constantly innovating to ensure the institution’s success. It would be fantastic to see more universities creating opportunities like Drexel’s Enrollment Summit to showcase the incredible work happening behind the scenes. The impact of admissions goes far beyond applications—it shapes the future of the entire institution. #EnrollmentManagement #HigherEd #Admissions #Recruitment #StudentSuccess #Leadership #HigherEducation

?? Reflecting on Community Leadership: More Than Just Taking Charge This weekend, as I watched hundreds of young athletes pour their hearts out on the basketball court at our local youth tournament, something profound struck me: Community leadership isn't about being in the spotlight—it's about creating spaces where others can shine. True community leadership means: Being the first to listen, not just the first to speak. When our young athletes shared their dreams and fears before their games, those conversations shaped how we structured future programs. Building bridges, not platforms. By bringing together families from different neighborhoods, local businesses as sponsors, and volunteer coaches, we created connections that will last far beyond the final buzzer. Seeing potential where others see obstacles. When people said "there's no venue available," we partnered with three local schools to make it happen. When they said "we can't afford it," we found sponsors who believed in our youth. But here's the real magic: A community leader's success isn't measured by personal achievements, but by the moments when you become invisible—because the community has taken ownership and is thriving on its own. What's your definition of community leadership? How are you empowering others to create positive change? PS.

Reconnecting Kids with Nature Through Outdoor Leadership Programs In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, children are losing their natural connection with the environment. Studies consistently highlight the profound benefits of immersion in nature, from boosting creativity and problem-solving skills to enhancing mental and physical well-being. However, safety concerns and a lack of facilities often limit children’s exposure to outdoor learning. This is where initiatives like #Kidventure make a difference! Through carefully designed outdoor leadership programs, we provide children with safe, meaningful, and exciting opportunities to explore and connect with nature. It’s heartening to see schools, organizations, and even residential associations and communities taking proactive steps by incorporating such programs into their schedules. Together, we can nurture the next generation with a deeper appreciation for the environment and invaluable leadership skills. If you’re an organization, school, or community group looking to provide kids with a unique, nature-based learning experience, let’s collaborate to make it happen! ?? #OutdoorLeadership #Kidventure #NatureConnection #ChildDevelopment #LeadershipInNature #ExperientialLearning
