LYNC TOURS CONFER PLASTICS


Since 2001, LYNC (Leadership for the Youth of Niagara County) has brought together youth leaders – high school juniors and seniors - from diverse backgrounds throughout Niagara County for experiential leadership training and character development. Modeled after Leadership Niagara, LYNC is a program designed to equip youth leaders with essential skills and motivation to respond to the challenges facing our community. Students representing every school district in Niagara County participate in the program. The students participate in skill building sessions in diversity, communication, leadership, and personal performance.

LYNC toured Confer Plastics on Thursday as a part of their economy and business day in which they get a chance to experience how the world works. This was a real eye-opener as most kids have never seen how the products they consume are made. They also heard a speech from Bob Confer about the the trials and joys of running a small business.
