Verde Valley Leadership Class XIX is off to an inspiring start filled with connection, discovery, and growth. From meaningful first-day interactions to an engaging visit at the Selna-Mongini STEAM Park, participants are gaining hands-on experiences that bring STEAM learning to life. A special thank you to Joni Wescott for sharing the park’s incredible educational opportunities and showing how science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics intersect in real-world ways. This experience highlighted the power of community resources in fostering lifelong learning and leadership development.
