CHS Youth Action Center Provides Opportunities

Centennial is now a Youth Action Center (YAC) in affiliation with 21^st Century Leaders.  A YAC provides opportunities for service and leadership training for all students.  Centennial students will be able to build connections between the school and the community by meeting real needs in Roswell and areas throughout the world.  Lauren Williams will serve as the group’s president, and Mrs. Robinson will be the sponsor.  Plans are in place to hold a Leadership Forum later this month and to get more students involved in giving back.

This weekend, Lauren and Mrs. Robinson attended a Back 2 School event sponsored by 21^st Century Leaders at the City of Refuge in Atlanta.  The event highlighted the year-round schedule of service projects that schools can adapt to the needs of their community.  Additionally, presentations and activities were conducted by students from Georgia Tech to emphasize the importance of service learning.  The participants were able to network and make plans for the current school year.
