KAYLA is an incredible organization that provides high schoolers in Kerr County with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and gain exposure to the inner workings of their local community through the Leadership Academy and Youth Leadership Program. Through these programs, students learn important concepts like civic engagement and budgeting, as well as develop relationships with their peers and city officials. By attending the Academy, students gain an understanding of municipal government roles and responsibilities. Meanwhile, the Youth Leadership Program educates students on the importance of local job opportunities and building meaningful relationships. With KAYLA, young people can become successful leaders in their own community.
