Congratulations to the Greater Vidalia® Youth Leadership Class of 2025-2026!

Students celebrated their graduation last night at Lyons First Baptist Church, showcasing what they’ve learned about leadership, community impact, and their role as future leaders.

Throughout the program, students explored key industries like Agriculture, Economic Development, and Healthcare while also developing essential skills in Professional Development and Leadership.

Georgia First Bank awarded two $500 scholarships to Sadie Berry and Evan Hardeman on their 200-word essay on “What can I do to make my community better?”

We’re so proud of these young leaders and can’t wait to see how they shape the future!
