The GLSEN Jump-Start National Student Leadership Team, a leadership development program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), and ally youth designed to promote direct action community organizing and community engagement. This article examines the benefits of the program for youth’s socio-political development. Data came from a multi-year evaluation that examined changes over time (baseline, immediately post-program, and one-year follow-up) in community engagement between a program group (n = 103) and a comparison group of youth (n = 47). Results indicate that the program may support LGBT and ally youth’s socio-political development and have positive implications for their development as community leaders, but these benefits may not be sustained after program completion. Implications for further research and program development for LGBT youth are explored.

Leadership Development Program

The purpose of this study was to identify the strengths and challenges that emerged from the first 3 years of a high school student leadership development program located in an urban setting. This study was developed as an instrumental case study of one student leadership development program serving urban public high schools in South Central Texas. Feedback was solicited from 10 current and former participants regarding the successes and challenges they encountered within this program. Three themes emerged from these interviews: personal voice, a sense of responsibility, and building community relationships. Discussion is included regarding considerations for secondary administrators about the potential utility of this model in helping develop student leaders of color in urban settings.

Leadership Development Program

Hazing is generally defined as any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them regardless of a person’s willingness to participate (Hoover, 1999) and has been documented among college students in groups ranging from athletics to marching bands to fraternities and sororities (Allen & Madden, 2008). This investigation examined attitudes and perceptions about hazing for students in a leadership development program compared to their peers. Both groups participated in an online hazing prevention education module and completed pre- and post-surveys. Data were analyzed using statistical two-tailed t-tests for analysis. Though the literature on hazing is highly suggestive of linkages between leadership development and hazing mitigation, it appears this may not be the case. Findings from this investigation revealed that leadership students at this institution responded less strongly against hazing when compared with their peers in the general student body.

Leadership Development Program

This study aims to explore the factors of the implementation of Midterm-term Change Project proposed by alumni of Leadership Development Program (Diklatpim) Level held in 2017 in the Riau Province. Data was collected using interview technique and review of related documents. The informants included three parties namely the alumni as the owner of the change project, the alumni superior as the mentor and organizer of the Training. The results showed, from the perspective of implementation, there were internal factors (low willingness, seriousness and motivation, as well as alumni communication with limited work teams) and external (unavailability of IT staff, lack of support for infrastructure and budget facilities, inequality of perception between participants and stakeholders to supporting data, as well as the lack of direct attention of superiors as mentors) which is the cause of the suboptimal implementation of medium-term change projects. This research contributes to efforts to improve the implementation of medium- term change projects through an understanding of the factors that cause the low level of implementation of the project term change in 2017 Riau Province Diklatpim IV alumni.Keywords: leadership development, change project, training evaluation, Riau.
