Junior Leadership El Paso Seeks Recruits May 19, 2010 Dear El Paso: Junior Leadership El Paso is an innovative program for area high school juniors with the potential to become El Paso’s next generation of leaders. Based on The Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce’s successful adult program, Leadership El Paso, Class XXV has tailored Junior Leadership El Paso for high school juniors who receive a hands-on education about El Paso’s issues, history, challenges and opportunities. Participants tour the region and meet face-to-face with some of the area’s top movers and shakers in business, government, the arts, health care, education, the military and economic development. Junior Leadership El Paso also offers the unique opportunity for students to meet and interact with other high school students from across the El Paso area, providing them with the communication skills, confidence, and leadership ability they will need to give them a running start toward success. During the year-long involvement with Junior Leadership El Paso, up to 40 students participate in monthly day-long sessions that help them gain a thorough understanding of the city they call “home.” In addition, each session is designed to support the students’ high school education by following Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Social Studies criteria. Two students from each high school in the El Paso County will be selected through a competitive process. The program has expanded to include private and parochial school students. The program is free to students and managed by volunteer committees made up of Leadership El Paso Class XXV alumni who conceived and developed the program, along with other Board volunteers. Attached is an application for your consideration. We humbly ask that you recommend your incoming 2010-2011 Junior students for Junior Leadership El Paso. The deadline for submissions will be in August 13, 2010. Once the selection process is complete, the student will be notified by mail and/or phone of the status of their application by the beginning of the next school year. Respectfully, Kelly Duke Yvonne B.
