The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the Youth Leadership Columbia County Class of 2020.

The 2020 class is comprised of 30 students, who represent five Columbia County public schools and two private schools in our area. The juniors and sophomores are some of the best and brightest among their peers, excelling in leadership, academics, athletics, music and the arts.

Youth Leadership Columbia County is a program designed to educate through experience and motivate young leaders and enable them to take an active role in their community. Students interact with community leaders and decision makers and are exposed to community needs, issues and resources. Throughout the nine-month program, students focus on different aspects of our community including law enforcement, government, business and industry, technology, media, marketing and healthcare.
