Teen Leadership

GRIL U Teen Leadership Program

We partner with area churches, schools, and organizations to challenge approximately teens each year as young leaders.  This program is led by adult GRIL graduates who invest in up to four teens (ages 15-21) to encourage them as they grow as leaders who make an impact in their homes, schools, neighborhoods, churches, and communities.
