Applications are now available for S.A.I.L. — Students Actively Involved in Leadership. The program is for high school juniors, and two graduates will be invited to participate in the following year’s Leadership Lincoln program.
S.A.I.L. started in 2017. Through S.A.I.L., each participant is actively involved in monthly tours of area businesses, organization and institutions that represent the community in an outstanding manner. Community leaders also offer insights into how the youth within area schools can make productive and positive changes within their neighborhood while giving back in various ways throughout the community. Class topics have included areas of focus such as government, digital media, economic development, tourism and hospitality, among others.
Participants are also required to attend public meetings while becoming involved in volunteer projects throughout the area. Upon graduation from S.A.I.L. in March, these students will then be eligible to apply for Leadership Lincoln where they will have the opportunity to expand their leadership skills even further. All high school juniors in Lincoln Parish schools, public or private are eligible.
