East Union Community Schools

After nine months of dedicated leadership sessions, we are proud to announce our newest group of Lead UC graduates!
It has been a privilege to watch each individual grow and sharpen their skills, and we can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make next.
Graduate Jaida Fischer sums up the experience perfectly:
“I would recommend Lead UC to anyone wanting to strengthen their leadership skills and gain a deeper understanding of our community. Through this course, I made numerous connections and learned so much. The overall impact on both youth and adults truly makes this program worthwhile.”
The Lead UC program is heading into summer break and will return this September to welcome a brand new cohort of leaders. See you then!
