Leadership Putnam Youth Academy, or LPYA, is a community leadership program for high school students held each summer.  Any Putnam County high school sophomore may apply.  Guidance Counselors at each high school have applications and additional information.   LPYA 2009 will be held the week of May 31 with a graduation ceremony to be held at the end of the week.  This year we have added a couple of new components to the curriculm, including interviewing skills and the importance of networking.
