The mission of Youth Leadership Greenville is to engage the youth of Greenville County in a series of classroom and practical learning experiences designed to develop, cultivate and nurture their leadership potential and to get them engaged in Greenville’s future.
The program participants are selected from among students who are highly motivated and potential leaders within their school communities. The program of study will challenge these students to become more aware of, examine and respond to the social and economic needs of the Greenville community.
This year’s class of 32 rising high school juniors represent 13 high schools in Greenville County, including Greenville Charter High School. The program for this year’s class will include sessions on the history of Greenville, healthcare and human services, quality of life in Greenville, and law enforcement and local government. In addition to these topics, the students will also participate in workshops covering college and career selection, leadership skills development, and how they can make a difference in their community.
We are extremely proud of these young people selected to participate in Youth Leadership Greenville!
