Is your child interested in additional leadership opportunities? Is your child passionate about helping others? Our iLEAD Youth Coalition Club sounds like a great fit for them! The iLEAD Youth Coalition is an interactive club focused on shaping youth into future leaders through character building, substance prevention education, access to positive mentors, and more. In 2019, the Firth Youth Center was appointed as the fiscal agent for LEAD Phillipsburg: Learn, Educate, Advocate, Develop Drug Free Communities Coalition. This is a competitive grant under the direction of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. LEAD Phillipsburg currently serves the Town of Phillipsburg and surrounding communities. The coalition consists of sector representatives and staff that work together to strengthen community collaboration in support of local efforts to reduce youth substance use. LEAD Phillipsburg focuses on integrating prevention and environmental strategies to decrease underage drinking, tobacco, and marijuana use among youth. iLEAD meetings consist of resume building, interactive activities, prevention curriculums, confidence building, leadership roles, and other opportunities. No prior registration is required for meetings. A 2024-2025 Membership/Emergency Contact form is required. Copies are available on our website or at the FYC Front Desk.
The next iLEAD Meeting will be on Wednesday, November 13th at 6pm at the Firth Youth Center! Additional meetings are listed below. If you would like to be added to the email list, please reach out to Keely Rehman, Project Coordinator, at [email protected].

Check out what the iLEAD Youth Coalition has been up to....
On Saturday, April 20th, our iLEAD Youth Coalition Members participated in Norwescap's Community Day of Action! Our crew picked-up trash around Shappell Park and further down South Main Street while surrounded by fellow community "do-gooders," many of whom volunteer at countless hours at many events in Phillipsburg.
Our iLEAD Members were grateful for the experience, and said they took pride in cleaning up their community! Teaching young adults about philanthropy, helping others, and giving back to their local community is integral to the character development we carve into so many of our activities. Thank you to Norwescap New Jersey for putting together this amazing event to help our Town!
