Abstract

LEAT is a virtual skills building leadership group for female identifying high school age students grades 9-12. Program objectives are to empower youth to develop their sense of self esteem, identity and to develop leadership skills to be active leaders in their community. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on youth, opportunities to build community and engage in skill building activities are lacking and this group aims to fill that gap.
