applications for the Oconee Chamber of Commerce Youth Leadership Program are
now available. Make note applications
are due by August 18th.
Youth Leadership Oconee targets 10th and 11th grade students
who want to further develop their leadership skills and channel those skills
towards helping others and improving their community.

monthly beginning in September and offers sessions on Communication and Team
Building, County Government & Services, Entrepreneurship, Education, Arts
& Nonprofits, and Agriculture. In

hours of volunteer service. Youth Leadership
Oconee provides service opportunities but encourages participants to seek out
