DPD accepting applications for Youth Leadership Academy

The Demopolis Police Department is currently accepting applications for this summer’s Youth Leadership Academy offered by the department.

The Youth Leadership Academy is open to all Demopolis City School students. The Youth Leadership Academy is a continuation of the Explorer Police Academy and is designed to continue the students’ training and preparation for becoming tomorrow’s leaders. The program turns an ordinary summer week into an extraordinary adventure and turns seemingly unattainable challenges into very achievable successes.

The primary objective of the Youth Leadership Academy is to continue the students’ growth process from child to adolescent to adult leader. The motto of “leadership, discipline, and honesty” is still the foundation of all daily activities. Teamwork, communication, and problem solving skills are the core curriculum.

Each child will learn about the incredible power of teamwork, the importance of respect for self and others, and build the confidence to achieve the impossible.

The program is open to students of the Demopolis City School System ages 11 to 15.

Two sessions are available for the summer. Session one runs June 5-9, with session two running June 12-16.

Applications must be submitted online by May 26 at 5 p.m. For more information or to submit your application, click here.
