Leadership On and Off the Field

Partnerships

The Kansas Youth Leadership Academy and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame (KSHOF) serve as the primary partners for this program. KYLA is currently looking for new sponsorships for the Leadership on & off the field program. Please contact us if this is of interest to you or your organization.

The Kansas Youth Leadership Academy is a state-wide, all inclusive program that promotes youth leadership development throughout the state of Kansas. KYLA’s primary emphasis is providing practical tools that nurture the development of strong character traits, an engaging civic attitude, and an educational experience that fosters leadership development among young people. Utilizing university faculty, school teachers, community leaders, and college students as certified leadership trainers, the Kansas Youth Leadership Academy focuses on themes that will provide students with the knowledge, behaviors, and motivation to participate in the leadership process. The Kansas Youth Leadership Academy is funded in part by the major sponsorship of the McDonalds Restaurants of Kansas.

Through exhibits, archives, facilities, services, and activities, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame honors those individuals and teams whose achievements in sports have brought distinction to themselves, to their communities, and to the entire state of Kansas. In addition to preserving the history of sports for the state, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame also serves as a source of education and inspiration to all generations.
