DeKalb County community leaders and active citizens are invited to apply for Leadership DeKalb’s Class of 2013. Open House events are also being held on March 1 and March 6 for prospective members of the Class which will share information on the value and commitment of the program.
More than 30 local sophomore and junior high school students and members of the Youth Leadership DeKalb Class of 2012 volunteered in a Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Day sponsored by the City of Decatur on Saturday, January 14. Students met at the Solarium Community Center and were then dispersed within the community to help clean and renovate senior citizens’ homes. Working alongside Leadership DeKalb graduates Angela Battle '07, Yolanda Brown '03 and Robert Soens '07, the youth helped repair the homes and yards of local community seniors.
As of December 1, Leadership DeKalb has officially launched a new award, "The Best Class Ever Award!"
