This year’s theme, “Leaders: Being Proactive and Shaping their Own Future,” was exemplified throughout the session.

The scrapbook documents community service projects, workshops, current trends and issues for youth, networking with other youth chapters and supporting their events, members’ academic and athletic achievements.
