Visiting future leaders in Macomb

Visiting future leaders in Macomb

February 17, 2026

I recently had the pleasure to join Rep. Norine Hammond as we visited with the Macomb Youth Leadership Organization (MYLO) students. It is always a learning experience for me to hear what is on the mind of young people.

MYLO is a group of 14 sophomores at Macomb High School who spend the year learning about their community by spending one day a month participating in tours and other community activities. The day we visited was Local Government day.

Thank you students and to Shelby Carlson, 4-H Youth Development Educator, for hosting this event for future leaders!
