Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center announces continuation of Student Leadership Conference
MANSFIELD — Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center will continue the annual Student Leadership Conference this school year, hosting student events on Nov. 15 and March 7. Each event will run from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. and is open to students in grades 9-12.
This leadership series is open to all MOESC client/partnering districts as well as all school districts in Crawford, Morrow and Richland counties. Students will enjoy two interactive and engaging days exploring leadership practices and will return to their districts with a plan to influence positive change in their schools and community.
The conference aims to increase leadership capacities among students by giving them an opportunity outside of their home district to develop leadership and collaboration skills. Bringing students from different districts delivers the possibilities of various perspectives and learning experiences.
All client/partnering districts will be able to send 20 students free of charge (five members from each grade 9-12). Donuts, refreshments and lunch will be provided to students and chaperones at no cost.
The keynote speaker for the conference will be Doug Worthington, a former Ohio State University and NFL player, from the Driven Foundation.
