Last week, 36 area high school juniors graduated from the Chamber’s Youth Leadership Eau Claire (YLEC) program. In its 15th year, the program gives students a chance to enhance their knowledge and development leadership skills. During the nine-month program, the students learn about the community and future career opportunities.
In order to graduate from the program, students must complete community service projects. This year, the class divided into four groups to complete the projects for the Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity, Clear Vision Eau Claire Food Security Team, Prairie Ridge Early Learning School Fight Against Hunger Project and Triniteam. The following is the list of 2018 graduates: Altoona High School Melissa White Fall Creek High School Ahna Henrickson Breanne Johnson Kiersten Larson Samantha Ruppert Nathaniel Strasburg Jason Trzebiatowski Memorial High School Olivia Craker Simon Giese Gwen Heywood Paul Lyons Shilpa Maddikunta Paj Ia Moua Sam Rechek Zachary Sather North High School Prestyn Bernier Sydney Brown Alexa Burton Faith Evans Abby Green Anna Kent Breanna Renslo Laura Swenson Alexandra Thomas Gao Sue Vang Emily Zawacki Regis High School Kimberly Henriksen Teryn Karlstad Mitchell Merkel Celee Schuch Gabrielle Semerad Izabella Setla Heidi Skwierczynski Laura Sokup Rebekah Thurner Jackson Wolterstorff YLEC Executive Committee Chair Michael Strubel, Marshfield Clinic – Eau Claire Center Vice Chair Jenna Ziegler, Group Health Cooperative of Eau Claire Past Chair Jason Craig, Mayo Clinic Health System Jim Schmitt, Eau Claire Area School District Laura Volbrecht, Fall Creek School District Larry Zorn YLEC Curriculum Committee Andrea Finn, Royal Credit Union Travis Ida, Boys & Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley Nicole Lasker, Lasker’s Jewelers Kelly Lauscher, HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital Eric Lindquist, Leader-Telegram Andy Neborak, Eau Claire Express Baseball Susan Peterson, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin, Inc.
