About Junior Leadership Charlotte
The Junior Leadership Charlotte program offers students from our local Charlotte County high schools an opportunity
to develop positive leadership qualities and a sense of community. It is an interaction between today’s community leaders and tomorrow’s future leaders. The program is designed to heighten the awareness of the needs of our community and to show each student how they can make a difference. It highlights the careers and life-style available to everyone who chooses to call Charlotte County their home.
Thanks to the generous support of the business community there is no cost to the students selected for JLC. Students attend sessions on Team Building, Local Economy and Careers, Environment, Community Services, Government/Justice, Healthcare, Arts & Humanities and participate in a Community Service Project prior to their Graduation from the program.
