I was searching from 33's build log from a couple years ago and stumbled across this really great Powerpoint Jim Zondag made over 10 years ago. While it is mostly more technical than value orientated, there are some nuggets of value wisdom. In particular, his first slide.

Students are an Asset -- Use Them!
  • High School students are capable of doing virtually any task related to your team with a little training and leadership. Never underestimate them.
  • If you think something can’t be done by students, always ask yourself; “Why not?” and “What can be done to enable them to do it?”
  • If you think something can’t be done by students, always ask yourself; “Why not?” and “What can be done to enable them to do it?”
  • The more they can do, the more they will do (and thus the less you have to do.)
  • In time, you will develop student leaders as capable and dedicated as any adult.

Also some great advice about feedback loops at the end of the presentation!
