Lookout for Leaders:
The Rotaract Club of Chattanooga is hosting the 2nd Annual Lookout for Leaders event on Thursday, September 22nd, from 5:30 - 8:00 pm in Miller Plaza (850 Market Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402).

Enjoy an evening of friends, music, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and live auction while learning about LMC’s Howard Intern Program.
 
The Cause:
 
Lookout Mountain Conservancy’s Howard Intern Program. The Lookout Mountain Conservancy (LMC) employs students from Howard High School to preserve and protect Chattanooga’s natural resources. The students learn about nature, conservation, teamwork and trust by establishing lasting relationships with LMC’s leaders and other students in the program. More importantly, the program provides a unique opportunity for inner city students to have a safe work environment, provide supportive income for their families, and learn social and professional skills needed to succeed in life.
Since the creation of the internship program in 2013, Howard High School reports that participating students have become leaders in their class and set examples for other students. Their grades and attendance are improving with promising plans for attending secondary education upon graduating, a first in the family for many. Additionally, LMC is receiving national attention from land trusts around the nation for establishing a unique program that connects inner city youth with a community’s natural resources - a program that many land trusts hope to replicate.
Rotaract has formed a strategic partnership with LMC’s Howard Intern Leadership program as mentors for these students.Connecting with the interns through land conservation creates a perfect opportunity for building relationships and ultimately establishing mutual trust, respect and cooperation. Our hope is to show the interns that life outside of their neighborhood not only exists but is within their grasp so students can reach their fullest potential.
