Early end to TALK Youth Leadership Program
Members of this year’s TALK
(Tomorrow’s Aspiring Leaders: Kids)
youth leadership class were not able to
officially complete their final activities
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 50
8th graders from Eighth Street Middle
School, Northeast Middle School, and
Tiftarea Academy were able to visit
the state capitol in February to meet
Tift County’s state representatives,
but were unable to complete the final
activities on their calendar, including
their graduation ceremony. They did
receive their plaques for being a part
of this year’s program and were an
outstanding group to work with. The
Chamber thanks Colquitt EMC, Georgia
Power, Heatcraft Refrigeration, South
Georgia Banking Company, Southwell,
and Synovus for sponsoring the TALK
program this year.
