YLDP is a leadership development program for high school juniors and seniors based on character rather than academic standing. The Three Pillars of the YLDP: Faith, Character, and Patriotism are the foundations of the YLDP Curriculum, and its instructional process and activities. Hence, the Curriculum is not limited to the monthly lessons and group discussions but is the “experiencing” of the YLDP. YLDP is a 501(c)(3) non profit, charity.
