Many Allen County high school students got out of the classroom and into the community today to learn about the critical roles local agencies play in the region. Students with the Allen Lima Youth Leadership program participated in the United Way of Greater Lima Impact Tour. The tour gives students an opportunity to see the effect various United Way-funded organizations have on the Lima community.
Area high school students got a firsthand experience of how various Allen County agencies impact the community. Today is Allen Lima Youth Leadership Day with the agency, and for the day, the Allen Lima Youth Leadership, along with the United Way of Greater Lima, held their ALL Youth Impact Tour. On the tour, students from 10 area high schools visited and learned about several agencies, including the West Ohio Food Bank, Bradfield Community Center, and Soldiers of Honor, to name a few.
All eyes are looking at the future in the Allen Lima Youth Leadership program. Only a select group of students were chosen from the application pool and were given the opportunity to sharpen their leadership skills. Both the students and the director of Allen Lima leadership agree on the importance of being a good leader for the future.
The Allen Lima Youth Leadership had an educational session Friday at the University of Northwestern Ohio.
