Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce Selects Teen Leadership Cherokee Class of 2016

The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that participants for the 15th Annual Teen Leadership Cherokee (TLC) Class have been selected. Of the 53 Cherokee County high school sophomores who applied for the program, 20 students were chosen. Applicants were asked to submit a formal application and participated in a personal interview with local business leaders.

The TLC Class has already attended an orientation with their parents and an all-day retreat, which was held in January at the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce. Over the course of three months, students will participate in four class sessions and complete an individual project, all of which will address topics such as community involvement, economic and educational responsibility, personal development and team building. A graduation ceremony and dinner will be held in late March to honor the class.

The mission of TLC is to develop the knowledge and leadership skills of young people in Cherokee County so they may confidently become our leaders of tomorrow.
