The Youth Leadership Program is an intensive and elite, seven-month program designed to provide Eastern Shore high school students with the opportunity to gain a greater knowledge about their community, develop strong leadership skills and gain more self and social awareness.
Students Learn:
- History & Geography of Baldwin County
- Law & Government
- Business Smarts
- Health & Human Services
- Environment
In addition to class sessions, students work in teams to develop small group projects that address and benefit a special community need.
The Chamber’s Youth Leadership program recognizes that we can build vital communities that value fairness, diversity and integrity by developing young leaders.
Youth Leadership is an initiative of the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce Foundation. The Foundation was incorporated in 2002 to serve as the charitable partner of the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce. Designated by the IRS as a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt charitable organization, the Foundation’s mission to address the need for quality programming for Eastern Shore High School students.
More than 600 students have participated in the program.
