Why do you want to participate in Leadership Fayette County this year, and what do you hope to gain from the experience?*

Imagine Fayette County in 10 years. Describe one specific change you would like to see for youth here and one realistic step students your age could take in the next year to move toward that vision.*

What is one challenge facing young people in Fayette County right now (for example, around school, work, health, or opportunity)? What ideas do you have for addressing it, even on a small scale? *

Describe one way you are already making a positive difference in your school, family, job, or community. What did you actually do, and what changed because of your actions? *

Tell us about a time you had to work closely with people who were different from you or who you didn’t get along with at first. How did you handle it, and what would you do the same or differently next time?*

What is one strength you bring to a group and one area you want to grow in as a leader this year? Please give a short example for each.*

Describe a situation that pushed you out of your comfort zone (school, work, family, or community). What did you learn from that experience that would help you in Leadership Fayette County?*

Tell us about a class, topic, or activity that really excites you and why. How do you think that interest connects to leadership or to making a difference here in Fayette County?*

After high school, what paths are you considering (college, trades, work, military, entrepreneurship, something else)? How do you hope to stay involved in your community, whether you leave and come back or stay in Fayette County? *

List up to three activities, jobs, or responsibilities that take most of your time outside of regular classes (clubs, sports, work, caregiving, church, etc.). Which one are you most proud of and why?*

Have you ever participated in community service or volunteering? If yes, briefly describe one experience; if no, what has made it hard to get involved so far?*
