Dozens of students from five high schools across four West Virginia Counties visited Kingwood on Wednesday to learn leadership skills from the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG).
The students participated in the WVNG’s Future Leaders Program (FLP) at the Mountaineer Challenge Academy Headquarters at Camp Dawson. The competition emphasizes the skills students learn throughout the year in the program such as the importance of teamwork, leadership, and self-confidence.
“Our goal is just to make sure that they’re prepared when they get out of high school so it’s truly a leadership program designed to help young men and women succeed in life after high school,” FLP State Director Deborah Patterson said.
