This hands-on programs take place at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. More than 1,000 students attend on consecutive weeks in June.

The programs feature speakers who serve as leaders in Missouri government or hold important offices at the local level. It draws together the best and brightest high school juniors to help lead them down the path of individual success and leadership through “doing,” not just learning. This year’s events were canceled by the coronavirus threat.
Heil was sponsored by the American Legion Post 150. Fowler was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary.
