Youth Leadership Classes/Trip to State Capitol

We partner with Family Connections and the Chamber of Commerce on this project. We ask the schools to select youth who are leaders in the school environment and Rotarians who have completed the Fanning Institute's Community Leadership Train-the-Trainer Course serve as instructors. We have five half-day classes that include: Communications, Collaboration, Teambuilding, and Decision making. Once they complete the courses, we take them on a bus trip to the Capitol and our State Representative Gerald Greene serves as their tour guide. Georgia-Pacific provides tickets to the Georgia Aquarium and lunch. We have a Rotary Program for the Youth to share their experience and what they have learned. We present certificates of completion at the close of the meeting.
