The Youth Leadership Corps (YLC) is an Outward Bound scholarship that has been developed to cultivate budding leaders through the unique challenge of a 12-day wilderness expedition. Students learn the skills that are critical to success and often not learned in the classroom– leadership styles, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and decision making. The ideal YLC applicant is a Maryland student who is entering grades 10-12 in Fall 2020 who shows natural leadership abilities.
