A Great Young Heroes Retreat

On December 4th and 5th the City Heroes team launched the start of its program with their very first retreat. City Heroes is a leadership development and service learning program for high school students from in and around Philadelphia. During the retreat, workshops were focused on leadership, diversity, personal identity, national and international service, as well as City Year culture. The City Heroes team worked hard to ensure that the workshops were engaging and informative. The team also worked day in and day out to “in-kind,” or solicit donations, for as much delicious food for the students as possible. This year, 151 students and 36 group leaders came out to the retreat. The group leaders did an amazing job leading the Heroes and we could not have had such meaningful workshops without their help. Thanks to everyone who helped make the retreat a success!
