Teen Leadership Newton Program Concludes with Presentations

Water treatment methods and improved educational curricula were hot topics for students from Newton-Conover and Discovery high schools as they delivered presentations to the Newton City Council on how to address those issues. The presentations served as the culmination of the Teen Leadership Newton program.

Teen Leadership Newton is an annual five-week program aimed at developing future community leaders. Students are challenged to become the next generation of leaders by learning about the qualities and characteristics of effective leaders. They gain first-hand experience by meeting and holding discussions with governmental, business and non-profit leaders.

“Each year, we have a great time exploring the qualities of everyday leaders,” Newton City Manager Todd Clark said. “This partnership with the schools is a great way to introduce local teens to the leadership opportunities in and around Newton. We look forward to continuing the program with Newton-Conover City Schools.”
