Recently, 36 area high school juniors graduated from the Chamber’s Youth Leadership Eau Claire (YLEC) program. In its 12th 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 Bolton Refuge House, Eau Claire Healthy Community Mental Health Action Team, Feed My People Food Bank and Girls on the Run. The following is the list of 2015 graduates: Mitchel Abts, Regis High School Emma Anderson, Memorial High School Ali Barrie, Fall Creek High School Alex Braaten, Memorial High School Meiyi Chen, Memorial High School Lauren Clark, Regis High School Violet Eigner, Fall Creek High School Chelsea Ennen, North High School Whitney Folkers, Fall Creek High School Laura Garcia Pimentel, North High School Natalie Hellegers, Fall Creek High School Jennifer Her, North High School Kevin Humphrey, Memorial High School Callie Jones, Regis High School Kate Kalmon, Memorial High School Katrina Kawak, Memorial High School Sarah Liming, Regis High School Jackson Lindquist, North High School TJ Lustek, Memorial High School Tori Matson, Regis High School Jared Merkel, Regis High School Emily Pedersen, Memorial High School Alyson Pernsteiner, Regis High School Megan Pokrandt, Regis High School Chase Rauckman, Memorial High School Bennett Running, North High School Alicia Schwahn, North High School Nathan Sims, North High School Channa Steinmetz, Regis High School Katie Stremcha, North High School Julia Szepieniec, Regis High School Izzi Thompson, Memorial High School Baileigh Tolar, Memorial High School CJ Vonderheid, Regis High School Jennifer Xiong, Memorial High School Pang Der Yang, Memorial High School Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors for making this program possible!
