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.
