40 Years–40 Stories of InnerAct Alliance | Story #8: Judge or Jail? UthMpact Leaders Choose Their Path

 


40 Years-40 Stories | Story #8: Judge or Jail? UthMpact Leaders Choose Their Path!

Students who participate in programs offered through InnerAct Alliance are encouraged to consider the potential effects of their choices and how those choices may affect their future. Our curriculum helps students learn about consequences of behavior and examine which choices lead to success vs. negative outcomes. This is how prevention makes a difference!

Law Enforcement Leadership Day
Pictured here: Our UthMpact Leadership Class XV members enjoying Law Enforcement Leadership Day! Students experienced informative aspects of law enforcement in Lakeland and Polk County - including a visit to the Polk County Courthouse to glimpse a future as a respected "judge" or being "judged" while locked up behind bars. Not our kids!

About UthMpact Leadership

The UthMpact Leadership Program helps teens develop crucial leadership skills. Participants are nominated by school principals or community members. Once a month, UthMpact Leaders travel throughout Polk County to experience the inner workings of local volunteerism, business, government, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. Teens meet with community leaders to discuss community challenges and suggest proactive solutions. Special thanks to all our amazing community partners for hosting and educating the UthMpact Leaders of Tomorrow!
