Three SSCS juniors, Peyton Barbic, Yasmin Issa and Hailey Cashman had an opportunity to attend the Youth Leadership Forum and Legislative Day in Albany on Feb. 3.
Each February, the Association of New York State Youth Bureaus sponsors this Youth Leadership event where youth convene at the Empire State Plaza and State Capitol to participate in keynote and workshop sessions and meet with their elected state representatives like Assemblyman Chris Tague from Schoharie County.
This opportunity was made possible through Barbic, Issa and Cashman’s membership in the Youth As Leaders (YAL) initiative.
YAL is a program represented by high school students in Schoharie County that helps young people develop leadership skills and participate in community activities. The program is run by the Schoharie County Youth Bureau.
