This past April, a group of local Antelope Valley teens came together with a shared vision: to create a place where young people could discover their potential, develop leadership skills, serve their community, and become compassionate leaders who make a difference.
With the support of Community Development Center USA (CDCUSA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, these teens turned that vision into action. They developed a charter, established leadership positions, and launched AV-TILT (Antelope Valley – Teens in Leadership Training), CDCUSA’s first youth leadership
program. Its flagship team, Leadership League, is based in the West Antelope Valley.
