YOUTH LEADERSHIP CHEROKEE is designed to prepare and build leadership resources within our entire county. The select group of participants is comprised of young and emerging leaders of the area. They will receive an intense view of civic and governmental leadership through direct contact with a wide spectrum of institutions that keep Cherokee County solvent and moving forward. Youth Leadership Cherokee is an educational opportunity through participatory experiences.

It is a program of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce. Joy Perry is the Program Director.
