Beyond the Youth & Police Initiative, Youth Link has established another very successful program to ensure a brighter and better future for these for at-risk youth and graduates of the YPI training program. The Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) offers project-based learning through an interactive curriculum that focuses on four core areas for young people living in troubled and impoverished neighborhoods: Leadership; Community Service; Conflict Resolution; and Job Readiness.
