Opportunity for FHS Students to serve as Leadership Ambassadors
An Invitation From Andy Barr
The program will consist of breakout sessions with speakers who serve as top leaders in the Commonwealth covering several important topics. This year's conference will be held in or near Lexington, KY on a Saturday in February. It is my goal that our Youth Ambassadors will return to their schools and communities and share what they learn with their classmates and fellow Kentuckians.
Please find a copy of the application attached. Each applicant should provide basic contact information, a copy of his or her resume, and a 250-word essay outlining why he or she wishes to be a part of the program. Please have students complete and return the application by January 13, 2020, to my District Office via mail, email or fax. Participants will be notified of acceptance by email by January 20, 2020.
I encourage you to share this information with the students, teachers, and parents at your school, as this is a truly valuable experience for the youth in our district. If you have any further questions regarding the Youth Ambassador Program or its application process, please do not hesitate to contact McKinii Todd at my District Office at (859)219-1366 or McKinzii.Todd@mail.house.gov.
Sincerely,
