The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for its Regional Youth Leadership program for the 2026-27 school year.
The seven-month program is available to students in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati who will be high school juniors during the 2026-27 school year. Participants take part in monthly, school-day sessions that introduce them to various industries, career paths, and organizations across the region.
Students must be current sophomores with at least a 3.0 GPA, demonstrate leadership potential, have approval from a school administrator, and reside in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky. All students — public, private, and home-schooled — are eligible. The RYL Steering Committee will choose 40 to 45 students for the upcoming class.
Tuition is $275 and includes program materials, retreat costs and session refreshments. Scholarships are available.
Applications are due Feb. 1, 2026, and students will be notified of their status in May. More information is available at nkychamber.com.
