Youth Leadership Walker County
Another Walker County program helping to shape future leaders is Youth Leadership Walker County, developed by the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County and Bevill State Community College. Each year, 40 high school juniors are selected from city, county and private high schools in Walker County to participate in the eight-month program. Participants meet once a month to hear from community leaders on various topics, including economics, health care and criminal justice. They also travel to local hospitals, courtrooms and the state legislature in Montgomery to experience firsthand how their community operates. “The Chamber of Commerce of Walker County and Bevill State Community College are dedicated to education and will continue to develop programs that support our community’s students, educators and schools,” says Linda Lewis, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County. “Each of us seeks to meet the demands of our future through an education process designed to improve knowledge, communications, interaction and awareness. Youth Leadership Walker County is one more way in which the chamber, educational institutions and alumni are working together.” Youth Leadership Walker County is free to participants and funded by the chamber. Students interested in applying must have a C average or above and can obtain an application from their high school counselor or the chamber. |
