This year’s Youth Leadership Camp will have the regional character and it will be focused on working with young men and women on building leadership skills and competencies, reinforcing healthy lifestyles and endorsing general youth development.

The camp itself is an extension of the regular work with young people that has been carried out in schools during the ongoing school year. Camp participants have been selected based on demonstrated leadership potential in their school, local community and Be a Men Club. During the camp, boys and girls will go through a very dynamic leadership educational program – as CARE strongly believes that all young people have the potential to become future leaders.
