OSWEGO COUNTY – The Leadership Oswego County Youth (LOCY) program is accepting applications from Oswego County high school students who are interested in a fun, exciting learning experience while developing their leadership skills.
“Leadership Oswego County Youth is open to all high school students,” said Oswego County Youth Bureau Executive Director Brian Chetney. “This program is a great opportunity for youth to learn life-long skills that will enable them to make a difference in their home, school and community which will also serve them in their adult lives.”
LOCY focuses on helping high school students develop leadership, public speaking, team building, community awareness, decision-making skills and much more. The curriculum is built on a series of lessons, workshops and activities that reinforce aspects of personal, team and community growth, and combine discussions and activities that relate to the Oswego County community.
“High academic, athletic or musical achievement is not necessary, but a desire to learn and grow is,” added Chetney. “Attendance and full participation are critical, and we are looking for youth who will fully commit to this program. We hope to have student participation from each school district, as it’s important to have all areas of our county represented. That way, students will have a fuller view of the county they live in while also enjoying broader networking opportunities.”
The LOCY program is coordinated by The Oswego County Youth Bureau. The agency sponsors the tuition cost for students from every Oswego County school district, so there is no cost to the family or the school for youth to participate.
To be able to offer this program and ensure the best use of sponsorship funds, each student’s full commitment to the program is essential.
Enrolled students will be contacted by the program coordinator after the registration deadline.
The application deadline is Sunday, July 27. Any high school student interested in participating may apply online at this direct link.
For more information about the program or to ask about the online application, contact Tiffany Halstead, program co-coordinator for Leadership Oswego County Youth, at 315-349-3590 or [email protected].
