Trigg County High School’s Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity to apply for a spot on the Youth Leadership Team each year. This year they got to travel to many different places in the community to learn the behind the scenes of being a leader in all kinds of industries. These included: a 4-H challenge, agribusiness, business industry, tourism, media, education, government and law, military, health and medical. We heard from each member of the team on their experiences at the Trigg County Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn.
Rachel Price and Lizzie Butts started it off with their trip to 4-H camp and the team building activities they participated in.
