The Greater Hall Chamber announces the 22nd class of Youth Leadership Hall (YLH) with 81 students representing all 12 public and private high schools and two home school students in Gainesville-Hall County. Initiated in 2005, the program now has some 1,400 student graduates. A program for high school juniors and seniors, YLH seeks to provide an investment in the community’s future leadership by fostering interest in the community and inspiring students to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The 2027 Class kick-offs with an introductory program in August with educators, principals, superintendents, volunteers, and parents. Students will participate in monthly programs on topics on the judicial system, healthcare, leadership development, servant leadership, state government, quality of life, and economic development.
