The Chamber's 2021 Youth Leadership Program will begin in January and Student Sponsors are needed! Student sponsors are $300. In return for your generosity a link to your website will be placed in the Chamber's weekly e-newsletter and on the front page and the leadership page of the Chamber’s website along with recognition of your sponsorship. The link will remain on our website and in the newsletter through September 2021.
Call or email the Chamber to sponsor or for more information: info@northeastpolkchamber.com or 863-422-3751. The Chamber’s Youth Leadership Program educates eleventh grade students about the various components that make up a healthy community. Monthly during the school year the students participate in a Leadership Experience, when they meet and interview key business and community leaders about careers in areas of Education, Business & Industry, the Judicial System, Government, Media and Culture & the Arts. The Youth Leadership Program participants attend five day-long leadership experiences, each focusing on a particular aspect of community life. A two-day, one-night stay in Tallahassee culminates the leadership experience. Graduation is held in April at the Chamber's Education Celebration Luncheon which also honors our local schools' nominees for Teacher and Student Related Employees of the Year. Students, parents, school representatives, Northeast Polk Chamber of Commerce representatives and other sponsoring organizations participate in orientation and graduation activities. A Special THANK YOU to the 2020 program's co-chairs Travis Keyes and Stacy Stokes, both of CenterState Bank, for making the program such a success! |
