Franklin County Leadership

***

The mission of Youth Leadership Franklin County is to recruit and prepare existing and emerging high school leaders for responsible public decision-making and volunteer service. This mission is carried out through a process, which annually identifies high school juniors with broad interest and leadership capabilities, places them in educational programs, and motivates and directs them toward achieving desirable community goals.

The program includes:

An interview and evening orientation.

Five full-day classes on different aspects of Franklin County

(Students are excused from classes but must make up all work missed).

Attendance at a county commission, city council, and school board meeting.

A community service project

The experience is an excellent addition to a college application or a resume.
