The Cobb EMC Youth Leadership Program is actively seeking local area high school junior applicants for an opportunity to win scholarships and develop leadership and networking skills. The program gives students a chance to learn about the cooperative while making connections with other students.
 
“The Cobb EMC Youth Leadership Program, now in its fifth year, is a unique opportunity for our younger members,” said Mark Justice, Director of Education and Community Relations at Cobb EMC. “Students can network and gain leadership skills to become better equipped for tomorrow’s leadership roles.”
 
The Cobb EMC Youth Leadership Program is the only program of its kind in Georgia, awarding local students a $1,500, $1,000, or $500 scholarship. Students also have an opportunity to interview for a paid summer internship with Cobb EMC. Eligible high school juniors can apply by completing an application and writing an essay describing the Seven Cooperative Principles.
