"My son participated in the Chamber's Teen Leadership program. He came home charged up and excited after each session and found the experience to be amazingly interesting and fun. Most importantly, when he began interviewing for college he was asked in every interview to share his experience with the Teen Leadership Institute. This program got the attention of colleges and strengthened Nolan's credentials."
