SCRANTON — Participants in the Leadership Lackawanna teen program, Tomorrow’s Leaders Today, met in May at Lackawanna College for their Graduation Recognition Ceremony.
Leadership Lackawanna’s seven-month Tomorrow’s Leaders Today program develops the leadership, interpersonal and managerial skills of high school juniors and provides real-world experiences in the areas of philanthropy, non-profit organizations and community service. In addition to the skills learned and topics explored, the opportunities and challenges of Northeastern Pennsylvania were discussed as participants networked with community leaders and other high school students. Sessions were held one full weekday each month.
