\nLegacy Youth Institute Begins Saturday, September 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

Branson, MO \u2013 September 18, 2012 \u2013 The Legacy Youth Institute, a new leadership and mentoring program for high school juniors, will begin this Saturday, September 22 at Shepherd of the Hills. Thirty students from eight Taney and Stone County high schools, as well as students from the home school community, will join together to participate in this six-session program designed to equip young leaders to \u201cshape the culture\u201d of Ozark Mountain Country.<\/p>\n

The Legacy Youth Institute was born out of a passion to create a tangible, intentional opportunity for today\u2019s community leaders to pass on our \u201cOzark Mountain Spirit\u201d\u2014 a deep respect for Family, Faith, Friends, Flag, and ensuring a preferred Future\u2014to the next generation. Community leaders and organizations will partner with the Legacy Youth Institute in each session to provide a mentoring experience for student participants. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to equip and empower our youth to take a leadership role in influencing the future of Ozark Mountain Country,\u201d said Sue Head, Dean of Character Education at College of the Ozarks. \u201cThe Legacy Youth Institute will be a powerful experience that will challenge students to see themselves as a vital part of preserving the legacy of our area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Area superintendents and high school principals recognize the benefit of this type of student leadership program. \u201cWe are blessed in this area to have tremendous leaders who have strong values,\u201d said Chip Arnette, Branson High School Principal. \u201cAny time that our students get the opportunity to interact with these men and women is of great benefit. The Legacy Youth Institute will help empower tomorrow\u2019s leaders to strengthen our community in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s Kick-off Retreat for the Legacy Youth Institute will allow students from all across the area to get to know each other, learn important leadership skills, and hear about the area\u2019s heritage and core value of Faith. Legacy Youth Institute sessions on Family, Friends, Flag, and Future are scheduled monthly, and the program will culminate in March with a Graduation Banquet.<\/p>\n
