on the local level, and to equip youth to become active locally
in the betterment of their community.

approved funding of the Third Biennial 2006 Georgia Youth Summit
as a project of the Youth and Rural Georgia Leadership Development
Initiative.
Funding of the program provides each of Georgia’s 159 counties
with a full sponsorship of conference fees for four rising 10th/11th
graders and one adult. The county team must secure their own transportation
to/from the event and pay registration fees for additional delegates.
