Community Action Youth Leadership Initiative (C.A.Y.L.I.)

To equip today’s youth with leadership skills to become the self-sufficient community stakeholders of tomorrow

CAYLI is designed as a partnership between Coastal Georgia Community Action, the local school districts, and community organization; namely the Links Incorporated, Brunswick Chapter and the Lambda Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated. Participants are recruited from the Coastal Georgia Community Action client database, referred by schools and nominated by community organizations. Once recruited, each participant and his or her parents participate in an interview; where required data is collected, participant goals are set and parents are informed of required participation in Parent Involvement Club. A self-assessment is conducted at the inception and conclusions of each program year. 
CAYLI serves middle and high school students between the ages of 13 -17 who are interested in developing their leadership skills and becoming more involved in serving their community. Our nine-month leadership program focuses on team building, ethical decision making, time management, goal setting, public speaking, interpersonal skills, financial literacy and conflict resolutions
 One of the services Coastal Georgia Community Action prides it’s self on is the ability to ensure the entire family is served as a result of a student being a part of the CAYLI program. At the time of the interview parents are informed of all services the Agency has to offer to the entire family; improving the quality of life for all.
