The 28 high school juniors in this year's class are from Lakeland Christian Academy, Tippecanoe Valley High School, Triton Junior-Senior High School, Warsaw Community High School, Wawasee High School, Whitko High School and home school. The attendees participated in mixer games and leadership role-playing exercises while also getting to know the KYLA board members and learning what to anticipate for the upcoming year, according to a news release from KYLA.
Students in KYLA learn the fundamentals of leadership during monthly sessions held at various sites across Kosciusko County. At these meetings, they receive an overview of different aspects of the community, including government, healthcare, agriculture and service organizations. By undertaking a group community service project of their choosing and sharing their experiences, they will have the chance to further explore their leadership abilities. The next KYLA meeting will take place on Oct. 4 at Cardinal Services.
KYLA exists to provide a positive environment where aspiring high school juniors can learn the basics of leadership and become informed, capable leaders who assume active roles in the growth of our community, according to the release.
