Eleventh grader Kenneth Blackson of Franklin Parish High School has been selected to represent LA GEAR UP’s Explorers Clubs in the state’s first Legislative Youth Advisory Council.  The council will meet for the first time on June 4, 2008 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  Students will take on the significant responsibility of representing the student bodies of all Louisiana high schools as well as several communities of young people in clubs or civic organizations like Explorers Clubs in an effort to communicate the concerns of the state’s young people to the state legislature.  LA GEAR UP is proud to have Explorers Clubs represented in this bold new endeavor.

In addition to Explorers Clubs being officially represented on the council, Casey Waguespack, Explorers Club president from East St. John High School, will be serving as a senior advisor for the council during his first year of college.  Read more about Casey on the Senior Celebrations page.
