Participants will spend the day in various schools, engaging with students and staff to gain insight into the educational process.

The program not only highlights the importance of community involvement in education but also encourages students to envision their futures in various professional fields. By connecting local leaders with schools, the initiative seeks to inspire and motivate students, helping them to see the real-world applications of their education. This partnership exemplifies the commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders in Ankeny.
