Leadership Jackson County and YoJack

10/29/2026

YoJACK met today at the First Baptist Church of Crothersville and learned about philanthropy, diversity and team building.
Many thanks to Jana Gray, for teaching the kids about dwarfism - we always enjoy learning from you! Another highlight was learning about Time, Talents, and Treasures (and amazing cookies🍪) with Georgiann C***s.

Special shout out to Marko's Pizza in Austin for the great pizza today!

What a fantastic day!

YoJACK students once again volunteered for the Seymour Noon Lions Club at their Oktoberfest booth this year! We love to see these future leaders joyfully serving our community!

We are also so thankful for the Seymour Noon Lions club and this opportunity!

The YoJACK students enjoyed a beautiful view at Pyoca Camp and Retreat Center today! Today was all about public speaking, getting to know each other better, and using the gifts we are given to the best of our ability.

We enjoyed our time with Rexanne Ude, and are always thankful when she joins us and shares her public speaking knowledge with the kids!

Special thank you to Abigail Wheeler and to Bill Reinhart from Seymour Noon Lions Club for volunteering your time with us today!

YoJACK is back in session!

The Fall semester of YoJACK kicked off today at Seymour First United Methodist Church! The students got out of their comfort zones by introducing themselves to their peers, and they also got to know themselves and each other a bit better by completing a Real Colors assessment.

It was a great day with a great group of students!

LJC wants to send a huge THANK YOU to Jackson County United Way for selecting YoJACK as a grant recipient which will allow us to pay for program materials.

YoJACK is offered at no cost for participants, so we rely on grants and donations to support our youth leadership program in Jackson County.
