Exciting Plans Ahead for 2018-2019UthMpact Leadership Class VIII

Students from Polk County high schools have been nominated by their school principals and community members to participate in the 2018-2019 UthMpact Leadership Class VIII. This unique program, spearheaded by InnerAct Alliance, StandUP Polk, UthMpact, business and community partners, helps teens develop crucial leadership skills.

On June 4-6, 2018, the UthMpact Executive Board headed down to Anna Maria Island for a fun and intensive training retreat. Students learned how to run a professional meeting, perfect their public speaking skills, and began planning UthMpact Leadership Class VIII activities for the coming year.

Students will attend a DiSC Profile Training and Etiquette Dinner this summer. Beginning in September, the youth leaders will travel throughout the county once a month to experience the inner workings of local business, government, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. The teens will meet with influential leaders to discuss challenges faced in the community and suggest proactive solutions. Good luck to our new UthMpact Student Leaders!
