Communities
Many organizations such as Chambers of Commerce, Jaycees, service clubs (Rotary, Optimist, etc.), shopping centers and philanthropic entities welcome the opportunity to applaud and encourage the positive achievement, behavior, leadership and service of young people in their communities.

Media
Communities sponsoring ILN youth programs are encouraged to have media specialists coordinate efforts with television, radio, newspapers and magazines to tell the positive stories of their young people. The ILN staff provides media counsel.

Schools
Schools that wish to identify, applaud and encourage positive achievement, behavior, leadership and service find the Young Achievers and Leaders of Tomorrow programs a great way to recognize their student leaders and give them the opportunity for national awards. Schools that wish to enhance the leadership skills of their students and schools that wish to help their students at-risk achieve greater success join together to participate in ILN's LEAP (Leadership Education Achievement Partnership) mentoring program. Student mentors may receive recognition for their leadership and service as Young Achievers and Leaders of Tomorrow.

Photographers
Since photographic Showcase displays are an important part of the Young Achievers and Leaders of Tomorrow recognition, many photographers photograph the students and organize the Showcases as a community service at their own expense. Businesses. libraries, schools and shopping centers are invited to display the Showcases.
