The Chamber's 2021-2022 Youth Leadership began in October 2021!
Student Sponsors enable the Chamber to present a quality leadership experience at no cost to the students. In return for your generosity, a link to your website will be placed here in the 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 through September 2022. Call the Chamber at 863-422-3751 to sponsor a student or for more information. 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 2022 program's co-chairs Travis Keyes and Stacy Stokes, both of SouthState Bank, for making the program such a success! |
