SHREVEPORT, La. – The Greater Shreveport Chamber and Caddo Parish Public Schools recognized 40 high school juniors and seniors on Wednesday for completing the inaugural Greater Shreveport Youth Leadership Program.
The year-long program, which began in September, is designed to prepare high school students to become future community and business leaders. A recognition ceremony was held at the Petroleum Club.
The Youth Leadership Program is a collaboration between the Chamber and the school district. Participants were selected by school and district officials.
“This program provided an opportunity for participants to learn more about our community and the role they can play in shaping a better future for our parish,” said Keith Burton, superintendent of Caddo Parish Public Schools.
