Youth Leadership Bartlett also serves our community. As part of the Youth Leadership Bartlett program, students must complete 10 hours of community service within the Bartlett community.
Whether it is a local event such as a 5K or the animal shelter, our community has several opportunities for service. Students pre-arrange their service opportunities and receive approval of their service hours.
