Junior Leadership Jasper County (JLJC) is a ten-month program in which high school sophomores and juniors are empowered to become trustees of the Jasper County community.  Fifteen students participated in the program.  Youth learned valuable leadership skills throughout the program, including communication, time management, responsibility, etc. The program also provided personal development skills training, volunteering opportunities and team building training.  Another benefit of the program was gaining new contacts through networking and relationship building.
