Lawrenceville and Impact 46 have joined forces to launch Lawrenceville Legacy Leaders, a new leadership development program for the city’s high school students at Central Gwinnett, Discovery, Maxwell, Phoenix, and Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science & Technology. Online applications will be accepted through June 3 at www.lville.city/legacy-leaders.
“Lawrenceville Legacy Leaders will engage our future leaders within the six sectors of Lawrenceville, which include government, non-profits, local churches and businesses, the school system and our neighborhoods,” said Mayor David Still in information provided by the city.
“This unique youth leadership program will provide a pathway to increased community pride, civic awareness, and an understanding and promotion of diversity and inclusion,” he added.
The program builds on the summer of impact youth internship program created five years ago.
Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible to apply. The inaugural class will be announced over the summer and selected students will spend the next school year representing their schools as they build leadership skills, complete community service projects and expand their civic awareness.
