FUTURES Sponsors 32nd Annual Tomorrow’s Leaders Program

FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County Schools is proud to announce the selection of 40 high school juniors to participate in its Tomorrow’s Leaders Program. This is the 32nd class of Tomorrow’s Leaders which develops young leaders for our community.

The students, representing all 10 area public high schools, recently attended an orientation session sponsored by Mader Southeast. During the next six months they will participate in five day-long seminars coordinated by community leaders. The seminars are designed to familiarize the students with different aspects and services in Volusia County and to develop leadership skills.
Included in the program will be lectures, discussions and tours of various businesses and governmental facilities. Seminar subjects include: the arts; criminal justice court system; economic development and manufacturing; education and governmental systems; leadership, diversity and ethics; healthcare; and social services. Tour sites include Anthony’s East Coast Pizza, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols’ Courtroom, Daytona Tortugas at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, Daytona International Speedway, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Halifax Health Medical Center, Halifax Urban Ministries’ Hope Place, Houligan’s a Spirited Sports Grille, LPGA, Stewart-Marchman-Act’s Residential Adolescent Program, Teledyne Oil & Gas, Volusia County Council Chambers, Volusia County Elections Department, Volusia County Historic Courthouse, and Volusia County Schools’ District Administrative Complex.

Through the seminars, panel discussions and study groups, these high school juniors will be challenged to expand their awareness of the interrelationships and complexities of our community.
