Young Leadership Executive Board
What is the YLEB?
The Young Leader Executive Board is a team of College LAUNCH for Leadership alumni who are passionate about helping current Scholars by creating the best possible College LAUNCH for Leadership experience. The YLEB embodies the idea that College LAUNCH is more than a nine-month program, it is instead a lifelong community that supports Scholars and alumni as they develop into leaders in their schools, workplaces, families, and communities.
