DeKalb inducts youth commissioners

The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners recently inducted 35 high school students into its Youth Commissioner program.

The students represent 15 of the county’s 22 high schools and were nominated by county commissioners for the honor, a leadership program designed specifically for students.

The program, in its third year, works to engage students and get their input on county issues throughout the year. The current crop is focused on sustainability, teen pregnancy and teen entrepreneurship.
