Thank you for your interest in Youth Leadership Somerset

The Somerset County Board of County Commissioners is proud of our outstanding Youth Leadership Somerset program. Because Somerset County is committed to excellence and innovation in public service, we are evolving Youth Leadership Somerset into a new phase.

We are excited to announce that staff are diligently reviewing the program’s mission, application process, and curriculum, with the goal of better serving the needs of today’s youth by creating equitable opportunities for engagement in a revitalized program.

Since its inception 23 years ago, over 800 Youth Leadership Somerset participants have met local leaders, learned about Somerset County resources, developed problem solving skills, and expanded their networks of contacts and friends. None of this would have been possible without the support of our Somerset County Board of County Commissioners as well as the outstanding and dedicated community volunteers and County staff who have developed, facilitated, and participated in this leadership program since 2002.
