Dayton area students learned about urban revitalization and the exciting opportunities in the Wright-Dunbar Business District at the History and Current Issues/Media Day, a program designed for the Junior Leadership Dayton Program. Sponsored by the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce and the YMCA of Greater Dayton, the program brings together 55 high school juniors from 15 high schools to develop communication and community leadership skills. This particular session focused on developing an appreciation for the Miami Valley's unique history and diversity. More
