MDHS students are learning leadership skills and connecting with their community at the Mount Dora Police Department Youth Leadership Program!
Our students continued their leadership journey by learning about philanthropy with the Mount Dora Community Trust, touring the Lake County Courthouse, visiting the Mount Dora Center for the Arts, stopping by Barrel of Books and Games, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at Channel 6 News WKMG. They also had a great visit to the Mount Dora Boating Center & Marina, where they learned about local tourism, boating safety, and the impact of waterfront businesses in our community.
We’re proud of these students and grateful for the community partners who make this program possible. 🌟
