On May 5, 31 students from 10 schools in Rutherford County graduated from Youth Leadership Rutherford, the Chamber of Commerce’s civic service and engagement program for high school juniors and seniors.
The students attended monthly program days from October to April in which they learned about the educational, cultural, political and industrial aspects of the county.
Students fulfilled individual projects, a journal and a group service project to benefit a nonprofit organization in the community.
The Business Education Partnership at the Chamber administers the program, which was established by Leadership Rutherford has been in existence since 1998.
