Let’s make this school year a healthy and active one! See you at the Show-Me State Games Pumpkin Fun Run!

🎓 With everyone heading back to school, we’re reminiscing on all the fun we had this summer at the Audrey Walton Youth Leadership Conference!

This Summer we welcomed incoming high school juniors and seniors from across Missouri to the University of Missouri campus for a day filled with leadership-building activities, networking, and experiences designed to prepare them for their future💛

We are incredibly grateful for the generous support of Audrey Walton, whose sponsorship makes this opportunity possible for our future leaders. We’re also thankful to our home, Mizzou, for welcoming everyone to our beautiful campus, and to our amazing counselors, speakers, and special guests who made the conference so special!

Best of luck this school year and our future leaders! We know you’re going to do amazing things!
