Youth Leadership Board

Empowering young leaders to grow and lead through outdoor adventure, service projects, and real-world experience. Our vision is to develop capable young leaders who are confident and motivated to create positive change in their communities and beyond.

WHI x YLB Program

The Youth Leadership Board is for high school girls who are eager to push themselves, to step outside their comfort zone, and lend their expertise and uniqueness to Wild Hearts Idaho!

This program brings the girl voice into the organization in a fun, supportive, and team-oriented way. You will have the opportunity to challenge yourself, connect with others, learn, and develop skills in public speaking, mentorship, community outreach, fundraising, and event planning!

We are currently Accepting Applications for the ‘25 - ‘26 School Year!
