On Friday, March 24, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Nu Omicron Omega Chapter in Springfield partnered with LLCC to hold a career exploration day for its leadership program targeting middle school youth called Youth Leadership Institute (YLI).  It is part of a national initiative focused on giving middle school kids opportunities to cultivate leadership skills.

The program entails multiple modules in areas such as goal setting, civic and social awareness, life skills, career exploration and community service. On Friday, four YLI participants representing Iles, Franklin and Hazel Dell Middle Schools took part in a tour of four career areas — surgical tech, occupational therapy assistant, art/graphic design and biology.

Michelle Pulce-Flynn, director of grant development, is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and serves on the YLI committee. She reached out to Kim Wilson, recruitment specialist, who coordinated a tour for the YLI students.
