Jr. Jumpstart is a day-long leadership retreat for middle school students planned and carried out byWPYC members. This retreat provides opportunities to learn important leadership skills alongwith new ideas on how to prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. During the day, students attend workshops facilitated by WPYC members such as True Colors where they can learn about themselves and how they interact with others, High School Prep which provides an open forum to discuss their upcoming high school experience, Feeling Groovy which addresses self-esteem and doing what is right, and many more. Each group is also provided with team time which is again facilitated by WPYC members. Students use this time to apply their skills by developing an action plan with their school team to address an issue they feel is important in their school or community.
