Youth Leadership Jackson

The Youth Leadership Jackson program was organized in 1991. Patterned after the Leadership Greater Jackson program, Youth Leadership Jackson is a community-wide leadership program for high school sophomores and juniors and is designed to expose young leaders to the various elements that combine to form a strong and dynamic metropolitan area. Youth Leadership Jackson is a program of the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership and is governed by Youth Leadership Jackson Board of Governors.

Nearly 50 schools in the metro area are invited to participate in the program and approximately 40 participants are chosen each year.
