The “new normal” creates a challenging and confusing environment for most of us, and the impact of these daily, local and national challenges may affect Black youth more than most.

The Center for Leadership Development offers mentorship for youths, from 4th grade through college. President Dennis Bland spoke with WFYI’s Terri Dee about CLD’s efforts to support academic and professional development.

CLD recently held a virtual mental health workshop for local Black youth focusing on maintaining cultural identity, developing resilience and monitoring excessive technology use.
