Introducing The 2025-2026 Youth Leadership Experience Cohort
Please welcome our new cohort for the 2025-2026 Youth Leadership Experience (YLE)! After reviewing 41 exceptional applicants and interviewing 25, these were the 16 students selected. Due to the large applicant pool and our desire to invest more in our schools, we have upped our cap from the usual number of 12 students to having 16! This will be our 3rd group of students and we are so excited to keep investing in our youth.
These students have a lot to look forward to. From exploring their strengths and aptitudes through CliftonStrengths and YouScience to taking field trips and learning life skills, our YLE students have a valuable time ahead of them. Sumter EMC is thrilled to get to know them while seeing them grow into wonderful citizens of our community.
Congratulations students!
