Audrey Walton Youth Leadership Conference

The Audrey Walton Youth Leadership Program provides opportunities for Missouri youth (high school juniors and seniors) to gain skills that will assist them in becoming leaders in their communities and schools. Named after and generally sponsored by Audrey Walton, a great leader in her own right, this program promotes the importance of leadership, physical fitness, higher education, and a healthy lifestyle. During the 3-day conference, we will engage in several activities that will encourage the students to step up and be leaders amongst themselves. All of the students will participate in both indoor and outdoor team activities. They will attend a luncheon as well as a dinner banquet where they will have the opportunity to listen to some of our state’s outstanding leaders. The Audrey Walton Youth Leadership Program is certainly an experience that will help any student become a true leader in his or her school and community. Lodging and transportation to and from the conference is provided by the Show-Me STATE GAMES (we send buses to and from the KC and St. Louis areas). Most meals are provided. Participants may want to bring a little spending money to cover souvenirs and any extra snacks they wish to have. Application process includes: application, essay, student data sheet, signed forms. All components of the application must be turned in at the same time.
