Leadership Lexington Youth Program

Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass Leadership Lexington Youth Program (LLYP) is a program for high school juniors enrolled in Fayette County public, private, parochial, Montessori, and home schools. Founded in 2004 by Commerce Lexington Inc., the mission of LLYP is to prepare diverse individuals for leadership through education and hands-on interaction, exploring issues and resources pertaining to our community. The program will motivate students to think seriously about the role they would like to play and the difference they can make in the Lexington community.

Participants will interact with each other and community leaders, discuss issues, careers, business and post-secondary institutions. Day sessions focus on topics including the arts, government and public safety, higher education, health and human services, and more.

Partial scholarships may be available upon request for students accepted into the program.

Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass would like to thank UK Healthcare for being the presenting sponsor for the 2022-2023 Leadership Lexington Youth Program. Platinum sponsors include the Kentucky Blood Center and Fifth Third Bank. Bronze Sponsors are Toyota and Fayette County Public Schools.
