Leadership Knoxville

Today marks a special milestone for Leadership Knoxville- 42 years of developing servant leaders who lead with compassion, purpose, and a commitment to strengthening our community.
-
As we celebrate this anniversary, we also honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of opportunity for all.
-
Both occasions remind us of the importance of learning from our past, building meaningful connections, and working together to create a stronger future for Knoxville.

A week full of new friends, learning, and growth! At the beginning of the month, we officially kicked off YLK 27's program year with Summer Camp, and these photos barely scratch the surface of the fun that was had. We are already so impressed with these young Servant Leaders, and we can't wait to see them grow throughout their time in Youth Leadership Knoxville.
-
Last week wouldn't have been possible without our program sponsor, Bandit Lites, and our summer camp sponsor, TVA — a HUGE thank you to them for investing in Knoxville's future leaders. We are also so grateful to the LK alumni & partners who spent their time speaking to, hosting, and sharing their wisdom & knowledge with YLK 27!

The best part of Introduction Knoxville isn't the things you will see... It's the people you will meet!

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice reminds us that servant leadership begins with putting others before ourselves. We are grateful for those who led with courage, duty, and selflessness. 🇺🇸
