Youth Leadership of Fort Stockton
Youth Leadership of Fort Stockton is a program sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Its mission is: to promote a community based educational program where Fort Stockton high school students will be challenged to become the future leaders of Texas and our nation. The program accepts applications from high school seniors at the beginning of the school year. Ten students are selected based on their answers. Youth Leadership begins with an orientation to the program. The orientation is designed to build a bond between the students by having them participate in team building exercises. The program then meets once a month during the students’ lunch hour for a total of nine meetings. The meetings are designed to educate the students on the following topics: economic development, financial planning, preparing for college, community service, top three industries in Pecos Country, health services, and regional planning. At the end of the year, Youth Leadership awards scholarships to three students who have accumulated the most points. Students accumulate points by attending the monthly meetings, volunteering, and mentoring. Scholarship money is raised by private donations and fundraiser and will be handed out by the donator at the end of the year. 800.336.2166 • www.fortstockton.info • FORT STOCKTON Community Guide 17
