Youth Leadership Event

MVP's annual Youth Leadership Event is an intensive day centered upon interactive education and leadership development. This event is a dynamic way to celebrate the achievements of a diverse group of student leaders from across the state.

Highlights

On May 1, 2003, MVP capped off another successful year with its fifth annual Youth Leadership Event: “Breaking Barriers, Building Leaders.”

The annual event celebrated all the hard work Massachusetts high school students put in with MVP during the school year. Students from across the state came together at Northeastern for a fun and challenging day. The day’s events required students to meet new people, overcome their differences and work together to succeed. Quotes from student leaders who participated in the 2003 MVP Youth Leadership Event:

I learned...

“...that when I speak - others listen.”

“...when everyone works toward a common goal, it’s easier to put aside differences.”

“...teamwork and communication are the only way to achieve your objective.”

“...you can trust people who you do not know.”

“...never judge people by how they look or act.”
