Recruiting is under way for the sixth annual Leadership Starke County class. It begins Sept. 22 and meets once per month through May at locations around the county.
Facilitator Jim Jessup says this year’s goal is to have 12 adults and three high school students enrolled.
He says the class gives young, emerging and established leaders a new perspective on Starke County, including its history, culture, challenges, and opportunities for the future.
Topics include leadership skills, networking, the social services, local government, economic development, education, law enforcement and personal development. The class even features a bus trip around Starke County.
The program’s $300 cost includes meals, instruction, materials and transportation. Payment plans and partial scholarships may be available. The deadline for acceptance into the program is Sept. 15.
