Editorial Feature -- Kids of Honor® and The Youth Leadership Academy

As seen in The Daily Times -- Sunday July 11, 2010

Our Future Leaders

Who are our community leaders? Can you name them? Where do you find them? What do they do? Most of us tend to think of government officials or people leading local businesses and Institutions.

Let's broaden the definition of community leader a bit.

Can you name our future community leaders? Think of someone under the age of 20. If that task seems a bit tougher, I'll let you in on a little secret.  Young leaders are engaged in our community and training each other to succeed.  They do it through The Youth Leadership Academy (YLA).

The YLA is a three day leadership workshop planned by youth for their peers.  Aiming primarily at Wicomico County high school students the Youth Leadership Academy  aims at undiscovered leaders with the goal of developing their skills and supporting their efforts to improve themselves, their school environments and their community.  The YLA is one of the key factors in our community earning the “100 Best Communities for Youth” and "All American Cities."
