Student Attends National Youth Leadership Academy

Ben Myrick was selected to participate in the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) national Advanced Leadership Academy (ALA) in Talladega, Alabama. The Donoho School junior joined 50 students from around the country to be a part of the pioneering five-day intensive training program on February 13 – 17, 2014.

The innovative ALA program trains young people to put their leadership skills into practice in their own communities. During the full weekend of activities, participants developed their entrepreneurial skills, learned networking skills, identified a need in their community, and created an action plan to implement their visions. The program is open to U.S. and Canadian high school juniors and seniors who are between 16-18 years old at the time of the program. For more information about HOBY and the ALA, go to www.hoby.org.

Congratulations, Ben!
