Young Leaders Program

August 19, 2019

I am excited to announce that my office is now accepting applications for the Orange County Board of Supervisors, District 4 Future Leaders Program. The Young Leaders Program is designed for high school juniors and seniors who reside in the 4th Supervisorial District, which includes the cities of Brea, Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, and portions of Anaheim and Buena Park. Future Leaders attend a mandatory monthly meeting where they are exposed to experiences that nurture their leadership potential and prepare them for their future in college and/or the work force. The program provides students with firsthand experience and better understanding of how County government works. More information and the application for the Young Leaders Program can be found below.
