Boardman High School’s Emerging Leaders club joined with the United Way to “fight blight“ on Sept. 1.

The club scraped sidewalks throughout Youngstown in order to make them usable again for the United Way’s Day of Caring.

Anne Bott, former Emerging Leaders adviser, organized the day with the United Way. The current adviser, Dana Safarek, led the students on the day.

Boardman High School staff also helped out throughout the event, including Superintendent Tim Saxton, Principal Cindy Fernback and Assistant Principals Anne Bott and Moris Jadue. Boardman’s leadership team, comprised of Director of Operations Jack Zocolo, Director of Special Education Mark Zurra and Curriculum Director Jared Cardillo, also assisted the club.

All Boardman High School students can join the Emerging Leaders. The club aims to foster tomorrow’s leaders by providing them with leadership experiences while in school. The group works hard to help the community. A speaker visits the club once a month to talk to the students about leadership. Safarek organized an “entrepreneurs in the valley“ theme for this year’s speakers, so people like Steve Cocca will come and talk to the future leaders.
