Turner Youth Voices has been a program where 75 people from the state of Georgia were brought in from over 38 schools in 20 counties. I was given the very fortunate opportunity to make it into the program, and here are 8 reasons that you should apply as well.

1. Connections with new people

With 75 people from 38 schools in 20 counties, there are going to be so many new people you will meet there.

2. Connect with top-level executives

From a news anchor to an accountant, you meet people who are very passionate about their jobs.

3. Can help find a career path

Not sure what you want to do? Well, this camp will show you the numerous career paths that are there in a single company.

4. Lots of activities

From the basic name game, to various other activities such as jazz dancing and sharks and minnows.

5. Helps you get into a strict schedule

Go to bed at 11 PM and get up by 6 AM- a feat that is not common in the summertime.

6. Improves speaking skills

Giving a speech can be nerve- racking, but once you give it a try, it really gives you the confidence to do it many times.

7. Experience a College Campus

The program is held at Georgia Tech, and the campus there is a wonderful sight.

8. Teaches about leadership

It's in the name itself- being a 21st- Century Leader is a big honor, and not only have you done so many activities, you also learn how to develop the potential leadership that is brimming in you.
