Junior Leadership Orange

We are excited to announce that the Junior Leadership Orange Class of 2026  is now accepting applications.  JLO aims to identify emerging young leaders and equip them with the knowledge and skills to enhance our local communities. This is a highly selective process, and only a small number of students are chosen from each Orange County School District. Students must be in 8th grade for the 2025-2026 school year.

Please note,  Leadership Orange does not provide transportation. Parents are expected to drop off and pick up students at the designated locations (Newburgh, Goshen, Montgomery, and Middletown have been identified as session locations). Students will miss six (6) school days over the course of the school year and session days will run from 8:45 am – 2:15 pm.

The link below is for current 7th-grade students who are interested in joining the program during their 8th-grade year.  The deadline for submission is June 1, 2025.
