UthMpact Service Leadership Day on November 30, 2011

The next UthMpact Leadership Day will take place on Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The energetic group of high school students will embark on an action-filled day focused on service leadership and the positive impact of volunteerism in our community.

UthMpact Service Leadership Day will begin bright and early at 8:00 a.m. The teens will meet with administrators, tour the facilities, and serve as volunteers at local non-profit agencies including Lighthouse Ministries and Viste in Lakeland. Students will also bring along a book or canned goods to donate.

The UthMpact Leadership Program, spearheaded by InnerAct Alliance, StandUP Polk Coalition, and key business partners, is designed to help teens develop crucial leadership skills. The 30 student participants have been nominated by their high school principals. The teens will have a unique opportunity to meet with community leaders and experience the inner workings of local government, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. Future theme days include: Education Leadership Day (January 25); Government Leadership Day (February 22); Business Leadership Day (March 28); and Leadership Graduation (April 25th).

For additional information about the UthMpact leadership program, please contact Veronica Awai, UthMpact Coalition Coordinator, at (863) 802-0777, or via e-mail at: veronica@uthmpact.com. Find UthMpact on Facebook at www.facebook.com/UthMpact.
