The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (NKY Chamber) is pleased to announce the 46 high school juniors selected for the 2022 Regional Youth Leadership (RYL) class. The students, who come from 35 high schools across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, are rising juniors and leaders within their communities.
During the eight-month program, the students will collaborate with local business and civic leaders to identify, develop, refine and practice their leadership skills in an effort to become catalysts for change. Each month, the students will be presented with new challenges and opportunities for intellectual, creative, social and personal growth.
Topics explored through the program include arts and culture, criminal justice, local government and economic development, and health. Sessions expose students to potential careers, leadership opportunities, and in general, exciting developments in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky communities.
Students were selected through an extensive application process that included a minimum 3.0 GPA, a demonstration of leadership potential and approval from their high school principal or guidance counselor.
“We are thrilled to welcome our next class of future leaders in our region to the RYL Class of 2022,” said Ann Marie Whelan, Program Director of Regional Youth Leadership. “This program will give our student participants the resources to prepare them to have a positive impact on our communities for years to come. Leadership exists at all levels and in all types of organizations, and these students will be exposed to the countless ways they can make a difference.”
