(Fort Mitchell, KY) – The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (NKY Chamber) is pleased to announce the 46 high school juniors selected for the 2021 Regional Youth Leadership (RYL) class. The students, who come from 34 high schools across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, are rising juniors and leaders within their communities.

During the eight-month program, the students will collaborate with local business and civic leaders to identify, develop, refine, and practice their leadership skills in an effort to become catalysts for change. Each month, the students will be presented with new challenges and opportunities for intellectual, creative, social, and personal growth.

Topics explored through the program include arts and culture, criminal justice, local government and economic development, and health. Sessions expose students to potential careers, leadership opportunities, and in general, exciting developments in the Northern Kentucky community.

“We are excited to welcome the next class of future leaders in our region to the RYL class of 2021,” said Ann Marie Whelan Program Director of Regional Youth Leadership. “By exposing our students to the many forms of leadership within our community, they experience the possibilities that exist for them no matter where their interests may lie as leadership exists at all levels in all types of organizations.”
