“I can honestly say that [YLHC] has changed my life. It has given me the ability to see new perspectives on ideas and problems. It was such a good experience to meet other student leaders in the county and learn about the problems the county is facing too. Thank you for these opportunities to grow my knowledge about the county and grow personally.”
