The Greater Vidalia® Youth Leadership class held its graduation on Monday, March 20th at Lyons First Baptist Church for the graduation of the 2022-2023 class. The graduation ceremony gives the students the opportunity to show their parents, program sponsors, and the participating school officials what they learned during the program about themselves, our community, and how they can contribute as our future leaders.
During the program the students learn about different business sectors in our community such as: Agriculture, Economic Development, and Healthcare and Community Services as well as develop themselves in sessions titled Orientation, Professional Development, and Putting Your Best Foot Forward.
This year Georgia First Bank awarded two $500 scholarships to Reece Brown and Kate Kennedy on their 200 word essay on “What can I do to make my community better?”
Thank you to our program Presenting Sponsor, Brewton-Parker College and our Graduation event sponsors, The Temples Company and Georgia First Bank.
Applications are available for next year’s class. If you know a rising Junior or Senior in our community who would benefit from the program, please contact Amber O’Connor at ambero@greatervidaliachamber.com for an application.
