WHICH PROGRAM ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?
TESTIMONIALS
I highly encourage you to apply for Junior Leadership Macomb. There are people from schools all over Macomb County. Nobody comes in knowing each other because of how diverse the group is. I can confidently say I have made some of my best friends in JLM. The leaders do an amazing job of making the sessions fun and educational. We were taught about diversity and inclusion, etiquette, personal finance, nature, the arts, and many more important lessons which will put you at an advantage in a professional situation. JLM is like a small community which I am forever grateful to have been a part of.

Junior Leadership Macomb aims to help aspiring Citizens become what best serves themselves and others. Through a diverse set of lessons and experiences that cater to all interests and career paths, students learn what roles the people of Macomb County play, as well as see the benefits that are brought to everyday life by hard work. Personally, JLM has enriched my life with new friends, perspectives, and knowledge that will allow me to bring the joy and success of Macomb County to wherever I may go. It will surely do the same for others.
Joshua Mayer (JLM VII), Anchor Bay High School
There are many aspects of the Leadership Macomb program that are of great value: building your network, seeing "the inner realm" of many business and industry partners, and hearing from industry experts and leaders. The greatest of these for me has been the knowledge I gained on how things work in Macomb County, access to resources, information on initiatives, and learning all that is available here. The fact that I can share what I have learned with my workforce and installation partners multiplies the effect of this information and grows our community into a great place to live and work.

I am a huge believer in the JLM mission and goals! I have recommended several of my students as participants in this program and each of them have told me that the experience has helped them to learn so much about themselves and their community.
I have not only encouraged my students to participate, but both of my own children as well! My son completed the program during the 2019-2020 program year and my daughter will have the same opportunity in 2021-2022!

I was in the Leadership Macomb II class when I was in law enforcement. As County Executive, I still am very involved with the Leadership Macomb program and participate in a few of their program days as a speaker or panel member. One of the most important things you’ll take away is the connection you’ll make with people. The program challenges you to learn not only about the County, but also about yourself, your role in affecting positive change and the importance of being involved.
