WHAT IS THE YOUTH PROGRAM?
Since 1993, the youth of our community have enthusiastically embraced a journey that empowers each of them to realize the need for positive change and growth within our community as well as promotes their own personal growth.
Each spring, 30 students are chosen from Hirschi, Wichita Falls High School, and Rider High School to make up the Youth Leadership class.

One hundred percent of the program is underwritten through generous donations by local businesses and organizations.
