YLT is getting in our feelings about the fun adventures we see our YLT Alumni having this summer. So we decided to launch "Remember Me Mondays" where we will spotlight some of our YLT Alumni and share where they are now!

To kick us off, we are taking it all the way back to YLT 3 and alum Josh McLawhorn. After graduating from Leon High School, Josh went to the UF Honors Program and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry. He has been a passionate visual storyteller since high school, and started @ in 2016.

Since then his documentary and commercial work has won nine Emmy Awards, and his feature documentary film “UNFILTERED: The Truth About Oysters” has won multiple international film festivals.

Congrats, YLT Class 22! 🎓✨

This year has been filled with hands-on program days, new perspectives, and meaningful conversations that challenged you to grow as leaders. You’ve built connections, stepped outside your comfort zones, and shown what it means to lead with purpose.

Take what you’ve learned and continue to grow, lead, and make a difference in your schools, your communities, and beyond—we can’t wait to see what’s next!

✨Where Are They Now?✨

Meet McKinley, a proud YLT alum who continues to lead and make an impact beyond the program.

“Since YLT, I’ve been pursuing a bachelor’s in Business Marketing and working part-time as a Marketing Assistant at the Florida Sheriffs Association, applying my skill is in real-world projects and gaining hands-on experience.”

We love seeing our YLT alumni continue to lead in their schools, careers, and communities.

Infrastructure & Environment Program Day for YLT 22 was all about behind-the-scenes experience🏗️🚧

Exploring Cascades Park, students got to see what most people don’t: how penny sales tax projects work, the real ins and outs of managing community growth, and the behind-the-scenes of engineering and architecture.

They learned what it truly takes to create buildings and spaces that are not only safe, but places people actually want to be!

Huge thank you to FSM Engineering for sponsoring and big appreciation to our Program Day Chairs! 🙌

🚨Public Safety Day with YLT Class 22🚨

From behind-the-scenes access to hands-on demonstrations, YLT 22 got an inside look at what it takes to protect Tallahassee every day!

Through powerful conversations, real-world experiences, and up-close moments with local first responders, we saw leadership and service in action.

Thank you to for sponsoring lunch and supporting the next generation of leaders!💙
