Is your high school student "leadership ready?" The Elkins-Randolph County Chamber and Randolph County CLIMB are excited to announce the creation of a new program for rising sophomores and juniors of Randolph County! Leadership Ready is a leadership and career exploration day camp. During this dynamic week, students will engage in confidence-building and team-building activities, connect with local business and industry leaders, and explore employment and educational opportunities in our area. During the week of June 9 - 13, students will spend mornings on the campus of Davis & Elkins College. After lunch, students will participate in afternoon outdoor recreational activities throughout the county. This program is designed to help students discover their potential, set both short- and long-term goals, make connections with leaders who will support them over the next few years, and identify valuable resources available right here in their own community.
This program is hosted by the Chamber and Randolph County CLIMB. Programs sponsors are Davis & Elkins College, Elkins Auto, Kristie Vandevander CPA, and Mountain Valley Bank. We have opportunities for two additional program sponsors, as well as scholarship sponsors. Thanks to all the sponsors who are supporting this program, there will be NO FEE for participating students.
The photos below are from the Leadership Ready Kick-off event at Elkins High School earlier this month featuring Zach and Emily Watson of Clementine's Cantina &
Clementine's Closet. We also held a kick-off at Tygarts Valley High School. Students from all Randolph County high schools, public and private, as well as home-schooled students are invited to apply!
