The Youth Leadership Shelby County Program is a challenging and rewarding experience for all that take part in the program. The program is offered to students entering the 11th grade in Shelby County and is designed to encourage young people to be socially, conscientious leaders of the future by providing them with the experience, vision, and opportunity to lead.
The six month program meets on the first Tuesday of each month. On each class day, students have the opportunity to meet community decision makers and to engage them in frank, off the record discussions on current issues. A wide range of topics exposes participants to the decisions facing our communities today. Emphasis is on active, hands-on experience that makes the learning meaningful and interesting.
There is no cost to participate in the program. The LSC Alumni Association sponsors the youth program.
