Through the practice of our core values, skills, and personal relationships we encourage positive behavior, good health, and achievement.
In this youth-led organization we encourage the young men to plan and participate in activities such as teambuilding events, athletic competitions, community service, social activities, and leadership workshops.
These events challenge each and every member to better themselves as individuals and as a group.
In DeMolay, our youth-led structure encourages the development of leadership skills that will lead to future success.
Some of the leadership skills acquired in DeMolay include:
- Public Speaking
- Time Management
- Decision Making
- Teambuilding
- Conflict Resolution
- Financial Management
- Relationship Building
- Personal Accountability
DeMolay encourages our members to identify and understand the needs of their communities. The young men will learn to develop and participate in youth-led responses to those needs such as hunger, homelessness, illness, veterans’ causes to name a few. Service partner foundations include the Scottish Rite RiteCare speech and language clinics for children, the Shriners Hospitals for Children, Relay for Life, and many more worthwhile causes worldwide.
