Announcing Youth Leadership Brentwood Class of 2020

Members of the Youth Leadership Brentwood Class of 2020 held their Closing Retreat and Graduation at the John P. Holt Brentwood Library in Brentwood on February 4. The day’s activities included leadership training, utilizing Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, facilitated by Jodi Schroer, Director of the Maryland Farms YMCA. The class was treated to a surprise luncheon presentation by Michael Oher, former TN Titans offensive tackle, who was depicted in the award- winning book and movie, The Blind Side. Michael emphasized to the class members the importance of seeking out positive role models in order to achieve their dreams.  At the Graduation ceremony the class members presented community project presentations to families and friends.

During the five- month program the youth took an intensive look at the Brentwood community and studied leadership qualities and skills. The 24 sophomores and juniors from six area high schools were selected on the basis of their leadership potential and their existing leadership skills, as well as their community and school involvement.
