Helping students in grades 6-12 develop leadership skills and academic success is what the Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders program is all about. It’s also why Judge Jackie Powell recently visited Lauderdale Lakes Middle School to induct the 2024-2025 board members of the Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders Club into office. That day, 46 students took an oath to pursue academic excellence under her watch. This peer-to-peer mentoring program focuses on student engagement and school completion. Goals include increasing graduation rates, reducing dropout rates, improving academic advancement and helping students progress. Thank you Judge Powell for making such a difference! Judge Powell was recently honored by the Caribbean Bar Assocation for community service.
