The Leadership Lowndes Board of Trustees is proud to announce the Lowndes Youth Leadership League Class of 2019.
 
The purpose of LYLL is to assist students in developing an internal sense of community awareness, knowledge of teen issues, development of leadership skills and to provide an opportunity for students to network with each other and adult leaders for the betterment of the community.
 
“It is really important to showcase our community to our future leaders and workforce”, said Angie Crawford, president of the Leadership Lowndes.  “We want to make sure that when these students graduate from high school, they are aware of the opportunities to be successful in Valdosta-Lowndes County”, said Crawford.
