The 18th class of the Kosciusko Youth Leadership Academy recently held its first meeting of the year at the Baker Youth Club.
This year’s class includes 29 students who are in their junior year of high school. The KYLA class includes students from Lakeland Christian Academy, Tippecanoe Valley High School, Triton High School, Warsaw Community High School, Wawasee High School and Whitko High School.
During this introductory meeting the students were introduced to the KYLA board members and were given information about what to expect in the coming year.
The KYLA has monthly meetings at various locations around Kosciusko County where the students will learn about different areas of business and learn about leadership. They will each have the opportunity to strengthen their leadership skills by completing a community service project of their choice and reporting on their experience.
The students were challenged to be great leaders in their high school and community.
