NATIONAL YOUNG MENS SERVICE LEAGUE

NYMSL ESTABLISHED A LEADERSHIP CURRICULUM. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO AID THE YOUNG MEN IN IDENTIFYING THEIR UNIQUE TALENTS AND STRENGTHS, AND THEN TO ASSESS HOW TO USE THEIR TALENTS TO BECOME EFFECTIVE LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. A RECOMMENDED PART OF THE PROGRAM IS AN ONLINE ASSESSMENT. THE YOUNG MEN TAKE AN ASSESSMENT THAT IDENTIFIES THEIR TOP FIVE NATURAL TALENTS. THIS INFORMATION HELPS THE BOYS UNDERSTAND WHAT THINGS ARE GOING TO COME NATURALLY TO THEM. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS THE BOYS TO FOCUS ON THEIR STRENGTHS RATHER THAN SPENDING ALL THEIR ENERGY ON THEIR "WEAKNESSES". OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOUR-YEAR YMSL PROGRAM, THE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WILL DIRECT THE YOUNG MEN BACK TO THEIR STRENGTHS. THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THEIR STRENGTHS IN MORE DETAIL AND BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHY INCLUDING OTHERS WITH DIFFERENT STRENGTHS IS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS OF A TEAM. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES INSIGHTS FOR THE YOUNG MEN TO USE IN PLANNING THEIR FUTURE ACADEMIC AND CAREER ENDEAVORS AND BECOMING COMPASSIONATE LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
