The Greater Vidalia® Youth Leadership class held its graduation last night at Lyons First Baptist Church for the graduation of the 2023-2024 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.
Georgia First Bank awarded two $500 scholarships to Andrew Hodges Carlie Roberts on their 200 word essay on “What can I do to make my community better?”
