Teen Leadership Corps
Leadership skills are an advantage you’ll have for a lifetime. Cradles to Crayons’ Giving Corps offers inspiring programs for teens who are passionate about making a difference.
Applications for the 2025-2026 Teen Leadership Corps (TLC) are closed.
Applications will re-open in Spring 2026. If you have any questions about our TLC program, please email Doreen Storey at dstorey@cradlestocrayons.org.
“Serving in the TLC was fun, and helped me build confidence in speaking to groups of adults. I’m proud of what I accomplished, but also grateful to have helped with such an important mission.”
About the Teen Leadership Corps
This selective year-long program offers high school students a unique opportunity to blend personal growth with service to others. Accepted teens serve as ambassadors for Cradles to Crayons, while developing leadership skills in the areas of community organizing and volunteer service. TLC members take part in a customized training program, taught by C2C staff, business executives, and community leaders, including topics such as Team Building and Public Speaking. Students are given an “insider” experience at the Giving Factory, where they will learn how a successful non-profit organization runs and gain a better understanding of the impact Cradles to Crayons has in this region.
