Applications available for Hancock Youth Leadership Class of 2026
Applications are being accepted for the 2025-2026 Hancock Youth Leadership (HYL) program. Affiliated with the Findlay•Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, HYL is an investment in the future of Findlay and Hancock County. Its purpose is to enhance knowledge and develop leadership skills in a select group of high school students, motivating them to become positive role models, active and committed to their civic responsibilities.
Students attend monthly sessions, beginning with a team-building retreat in August. Session topics include agriculture, health and human services, arts and media, diversity, business and economic development, justice and law, and volunteerism.
HYL is open to Hancock County and Findlay City Schools students, including those who are homeschooled, beginning their junior year in fall 2025. Applications are available online at www.FindlayHancockChamber.com/HYL. Completed applications must be submitted by Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
