The All You Can Leadership Academy is the after-school and summer camp program operated by All You Can Inc. and currently implemented within the Steelton–Highspire School District. Founded in 2021, the Leadership Academy is a prevention-focused, evidence-based youth development program designed to strengthen social-emotional learning (SEL), academic accountability, leadership skills, and career readiness among at-risk and high-risk youth.
Through structured programming, certified instruction, mentorship, and experiential learning, the Academy addresses critical gaps that occur during out-of-school and summer hours—periods when youth are most vulnerable to disengagement, exposure to violence, and negative outcomes. The program is intentionally designed to reduce risk factors while building protective factors that support long-term success.
Pennsylvania, we achieved a significant milestone! All You Can Inc, received the after-school impact award for the Leadership Academy in the Steelton-Highspire Jr./Sr. High School, a statewide recognition with competition spanning from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. We are grateful to the Pennsylvania Statewide Afterschool/Youth Development Network and the ELO/Empower conference for this prestigious honor. This achievement showcases the potential of central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, demonstrating the power of collective effort and commitment to excellence.

A core component of the Leadership Academy is its robust guest speaker series, which provides students with direct access to diverse professionals and role models through open dialogue and presentations. Notable guest speakers and partners have included the Harlem Globetrotters’ Chris Franklin, Seattle Seahawks NFL Champions Garry Gilliam and Jordan Hill, Steelton Borough Mayor Ciara Dent, the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air and Space Force, U.S. Coast Guard, State Representative David Madsen, the Pennsylvania State Treasurer’s Office, M&T Bank, PA Fish & Boat Commission, Nike, and District Justice Judge Hanif Johnson, among many others.
Students participating in the Leadership Academy earn real-world certifications that prepare them for life after high school, regardless of whether college is part of their path. Certifications supported by the program include Fishing Instructor, CPR/AED, Bloodborne Pathogens, UPMC Junior EMT, Boating Operator Safety, and Window Installation in partnership with Renewal by Andersen. These credentials provide tangible workforce readiness and early career exposure.
All You Can Inc. has extensive experience delivering educational and prevention services and has successfully operated programming within the following educational settings over the past five years: Milton Hershey School, Catherine Hershey School, Nativity School, Steelton–Highspire School District, and Sylvan Heights. The Leadership Academy’s outcomes have been exceptional, earning two awards during the 2025 school year, including the Out-of-School Time Impact Award and the Keep PA Beautiful Community Impact Award.
Consistent with national research, outcomes from our program demonstrate measurable improvements in participants’ social skills, attitudes, aspirations, community engagement, job preparedness, and academic motivation compared to non-participants. Improvements in social and emotional skills—such as emotional regulation and conflict resolution—have been associated with fewer arraignments, including reductions in both violent and property-related offenses. These positive outcomes are observed in both the summer and after-school components of the program.
Community service is another foundational element of the program. Students participate in mandatory service activities—including weekends—such as holiday events, food distribution to individuals experiencing homelessness, and community cleanups. Most notably, Keep PA Beautiful recently recognized the program’s impact after students helped remove over 200 tons of waste from local communities, earning the Community Impact Award.
