KHS MYLead nominees selected

KINGSFORD — Four sophomores from Kingsford High School — Taylor DeMay, Amanda Yu, Erika Malone and Benjamin Trevillian — have been nominated to attend the Michigan Youth Leadership conference at Michigan State University.

Students attending this conference must be a sophomore and have positive character traits with demonstrated leadership potential.

MYLead participants experience enhanced self-confidence, critical thinking, creative problem solving and a desire to serve others. Specific leadership tools are provided.

Students step outside their comfort zone, take time to understand different leadership styles, learn ways to motivate others, as well as engage in setting goals, public speaking and more. A key ingredient to these outcomes is the opportunity to interact with peer leaders from across the state.

Taylor is the daughter of Robert and Erin DeMay of Breitung Township; Amanda is the daughter of Ming and Qing Yu of Kingsford; Erika is the daughter of James Malone and Stephanie and Brad Coe of Breitung Township; and Ben is the son of Kevin and Sara Trevillian of Breitung Township.
