Leaders of the Future - Clark County

Leaders of the Future - Clark County is a free leadership and mentorship program for middle and high school students, serving the 11 to 18 age range in an 11-12 and 13-18 bracket split. Programs offered are leadership development, mentorship, community service projects, and skill-building workshops, aimed at building civic engagement alongside personal growth rather than a sports or arts skill.

The program runs on a school year schedule rather than year round, which lines up with its target age group and suggests it follows the academic calendar rather than continuing through summer. Listed hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with no weekend hours, though families should confirm whether those hours reflect an office schedule or actual program meeting times, since a mentorship program for school-age students often meets outside the standard workday.

It operates out of 900 North Lamb Boulevard, Las Vegas, zip code 89110, through Clark County's Parks and Recreation department, and more information is available at clarkcountynv.gov/government/departments/parks___recreation/leaders-of-the-future. No phone number is listed for this program in the current record.

The price range is listed as free, removing cost as a barrier for a family interested in leadership or mentorship programming for a middle or high schooler. Because it's run through the county rather than a private organization, it's worth checking directly with Clark County Parks and Recreation for enrollment steps, meeting locations, and whether the program is tied to a specific school or open county-wide, since none of those enrollment logistics are included in this listing. A free, school-year program focused on leadership and service is a reasonable fit for a preteen or teen looking to build a resume of civic involvement without a program fee getting in the way.

The 11-12 and 13-18 bracket split suggests the county tailors the leadership curriculum somewhat by age, likely pairing younger middle schoolers with age-appropriate community service projects while giving older teens more independent workshop responsibilities, though the listing doesn't spell out exactly how the two groups differ day to day.
