Jefferson Community Youth Leadership (JCYL) is accepting applications for the Class of 2025. The JCYL program is open to high school junior and senior students in Jefferson Parish public, private and parochial schools.
The year starts off with a Kick-Off Retreat in September and then moves to six monthly thought-provoking sessions, taking place October through March, that expose students to the many facets of Jefferson Parish. Topics include education, healthcare, economic development, law enforcement and government, DEI and community involvement.
The program culminates in a graduation ceremony in April. JCYL is free to both schools and students. Click for more information.
