St. Cloud Youth Leadership Academy

St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson will provide an update on the St. Cloud Youth Leadership Academy (SCYLA).

SCYLA is part of the St. Cloud Police Department's Youth Initiative Program.  It is modeled after the original Michigan Youth Leadership Academy.  Its primary purpose is to offer support, build relationships and mentor youth in the St. Cloud and greater St. Cloud area.  SCYLA begins with a one-week camp and continues afterward with regular gatherings and contacts between SCYLA's participants and the police officers involved in the program.​

SCYLA received a 2016 Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation I-Award (Innovation Award).
