The purpose of The Storehouse Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is to provide high school students with leadership experience while fulfilling the mission of The Storehouse to feed, clothe, and care as neighbors in one community.

Members have an opportunity to serve The Storehouse neighbors directly, while developing the following skills:

Membership is open to all high school students entering 9^th – 12^th grades.  Although attendance at all council meetings is strongly encouraged, members are required to serve and attend at least 5 of the 8 council service/meeting days, all held on Saturdays from 8:15 – 12:45 pm, to satisfy membership requirements.

Each day will account for 5 service hours that can be accredited to other organizational requirements as the member needs (e.g., high school requirements, National Honor Society requirements, etc). Each service day counts for 3 volunteers hours while each council meeting counts for 2 volunteer hours.

Council meetings will be held on The Storehouse campus. Each YLC member is required to complete at least 30 volunteer hours at The Storehouse during the 2023-2024 year.

The YLC 2023-2024 year will officially begin on Saturday, August 19, 2022 with a mandatory orientation from 11:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M.

Membership for the 2023-2024 Council is open to the first 50 applicants. 

The membership application includes a series of questions.  Please make a note of these questions before you begin the application, as the form does not  allow you to save your answers while you are in process of completion.

• What are your future interests?
