The Mission of the Rochester Youth Leadership Program is to create an experience for youth that fosters leadership, community involvement and civic responsibility in the Greater Rochester Community.

The Vision is to be recognized as the premiere community-centered youth leadership program with a focus on:

• Community awareness with a servant's heart
• Leadership for today and tomorrow
• Proven measurable results

Students will be selected to participate in the program. 

• Food will be provided to the attendees, including an award dinner.
• An informational meeting will take place prior to the event.
• Students will receive a scholarship to attend. A $50 payment is required with application, but returned upon completion of the retreat.

The Parade Committee will select two Junior Grand Marshals (male and female) to be in the Rochester Area Hometown Christmas Parade from among the Rochester Youth Leadership Retreat attendees.

The role of the Junior Grand Marshal is to be an ambassador for the youth and the Rochester Regional Chamber of Commerce and Community. A special committee will interview students attending the Rochester Youth Leadership Retreat and make the selection. The winners will be announced during dinner at the Leadership Youth Retreat's conclusion. Each winner will receive a $1,000.00 scholarship.

Contact the chamber office at 248-651-6700 or email info@rrc-mi.com for more information.
