On Friday, Sept. 18, 12 Cardinal students in grades 8-12 attended the Youth Leadership Summit at Auburn Career Center.
The summit was hosted by the Lake Geauga Youth Lead Prevention Coalition as a way to celebrate the region’s youth leaders and empower them to work together to make their visions for their school a reality.
Students attended a day of workshops and heard keynote speeches from former OSU football player Joel Penton, and the Founder of the non-profit group “Because I Said I Would,” Alex Scheen.
Cardinal students who attended were eighth graders, Taya B., Lacey P., Cyndle R., Cade S., and Johnathon Z.; nineth grader Matthew C.; tenth graders Jacob R., and Virginia T.; eleventh graders Victoria M., and Julia M.; and twelfth graders Emily K., and Cole Z.
“The students were chosen by the administration and counselors because they demonstrate leadership amongst their peers,” says high school counselor Jill DeRamo. “We also had two students, Madison P. and Shelby S., who were on the Teen Advisory Board for The Lake Geauga Youth Led Prevention Coalition and they helped organize this year’s event.”
