Student To Attend Leadership Conference
October 9, 2008
A Carver/Century K-8 School student has been chosen to represent the State of Florida at the National Young Leaders State Conference.
Christiful Madison requested financial help to the attend the conference from the Century Town Council. The council approved giving him $250, which is half of the council’s entire $500 yearly budget for such projects.
The National Young Leaders State Conference in Florida is a unique, life-changing experience specifically geared toward eighth and ninth grade students readying for this critical phase in their life. This regional conference welcomes scholars from Florida. The intense four-day curriculum focuses on eight core leadership power tools: communication, conflict resolution, decision making, goal setting, group dynamics, leadership techniques, project management and self awareness.
This unique program challenges each scholar to step forward with conviction and confidence, to grasp the concepts of leadership and to act upon their dreams of making a difference in their communities. With the insight and guidance of highly trained facilitators and the assistance of their peers, scholars work within each activity to hone their plan of personal leadership, leaving the conference well-equipped to begin their journey.
