Wildcat Leadership Council Graduates Still Making Impact
Author: Terence Clemons
Planning Unit: Bath County CES
Major Program: Youth Engagement Leadership Program (YELP)
Plan of Work: Developing Leadership in Our Teens To Lead Tomorrow
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
It has been 5 years since The Wildcat Leadership Council was formed from a brainstorming session with elected county officials, Extension Agents, community education agencies, etc., and youth graduates are still making impact. Since 2013, over 40 youth graduated from the program and every year this program averages 25-30 participants. Annual activities occur every year by request of participants, school administration, elected officials like visit to Ky. Capitol to meet with County Representative and Senator, visit to a Performing Arts Entity to learn how the arts make impact on towns, regions, and state, and community services projects with elderly audiences, in need youth/families, or fundraising for groups. After verbal reports, youth that have graduated from this program have graduated from college, close to graduating from Universities and Community Colleges with Education and other Degrees, currently employed with Federal Wildlife Management, banks, various businesses, student athletes at Western Kentucky University and Georgetown College, interned with Community Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky (CEDIK) and other ways of making change.
