More than two dozen people are signed up to take part in a new Montgomery County youth initiative, the Female Leadership Academy.

The academy is intended to be a mentorship program that will serve and assist young women from the ages of 14-16. The goal of the academy is to enhance the life experience of young women by providing them with educational activities and career awareness.

All participants will be given the opportunity to connect with a mentor to develop soft skills, character and leadership skills. The program’s introduction will take place during an Inaugural Dinner at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Charles E. Earley Auditorium (Building 12, Room 172) at Sinclair Community College, 444 W. Third St.

The program will include a variety of guest speakers including Montgomery County commissioners Carolyn Rice, Judy Dodge and Debbie Lieberman, Judge Helen Wallace and Director of Workforce Development Marvene Mitchell Cook.

More than 30 mentors and mentees have signed up for the program, organizers said.
