Congratulations to 2018 Scholars graduate Queen Trapp, who was selected to attend the Community Leadership Corp sponsored by the Obama Foundation. Columbia is one of only three cities in the country selected to host a new Obama Foundation leadership program for young adults, aimed at training leaders and addressing community issues. Chicago and Phoenix are the other participating cities.
Thirty-five applicants, ages 18-25, from Columbia will be selected for the Community Leadership Corps program. The six-month program aims to train young leaders to engage in civic work. Both in-person and online programming will guide participants to choose an issue in their communities and collaborate with others from the community to address the issue.
