Youth Action’s 2014 Inspiring Leaders program (ILP) Closing Ceremony “Always Remember to Inspire, Lead, and Serve” celebrated the accomplishments of our 2014 Inspiring Leaders program Cohort. The May 10th, 2014 event held at the University of Pennsylvania’s Irvine Auditorium was filled with awards, a video presentation of the year, and a reception to follow. Families and guests poured in to honor the students.
Students received certificates of membership as well as superlatives that marked several memories of their time in our program.
Vice President and our 2014 Director of the Inspiring Leaders program, Christina Hardison, encouraged the students to understand that “leadership, service, and education are interconnected and they should continue to do such work in their communities.”
2014 ILP Cohort member Daishaun Deshields concluded the ceremony with the following remarks, “With that there really isn’t much left for me to say except that this program means everything to me. It taught me to bring out my new self that is a strong and bold leader that can guide the next generation of ILP to success.”
Youth Action wishes the 2014 ILP cohort the best of luck and success as new members of Youth Action.
The 2014 Inspiring Leaders program was sponsored and supported by Alpha Kappa Alpha Omega Chapter, AXA Advisors and Republic Bank
