Youth Leadership Council (YLC)

Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is a group of students representing dozens of high schools from around the valley, dedicated to learning and sharing the Make-A-Wish Mission! Youth Leadership Council members attend monthly meetings at our Wish House, and work together on fundraising projects to help share the power of a wish in their very own communities.

YLC members also engage in experiences offering growth in leadership, professional development, and networking that will be helpful in college, at work and beyond.

Please contact Halah Berglin at hberglin@arizona.wish.org with any questions.

Our Pillars

Advocate: Learn about the Make-A-Wish mission and share our story within your community.

Fundraise: Host a fundraiser within your community or campus to help grant wishes.

Volunteer: Join us for volunteer days at local nonprofit organizations each semester.

I've been involved in a lot of different extracurriculars, but YLC is one of the true things where I can see the impact on other people, on other communities.
