Tannehill wanted to ensure that participants would not have to schedule around an after school activity. The program will have room for 10\u201315 students and applications will be accepted after the Christmas holiday break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cMy goal in this is to do something different from what you\u2019ve seen youth leadership programs be in the past,\u201d Tannehill said. \u201cMost of them are about identifying kids with strong leadership qualities and trying to grow those or identifying the kids most at risk, but I want this to fall somewhere in the middle. I want to create unlikely relationships through team building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tannehill is interested in giving the confidence to these young people that her parents gave her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cMy parents always told me I could do anything in the world I wanted to do,\u201d she said. \u201cI was crazy enough to believe them. However, a lot of people haven\u2019t been given that same message. I think it\u2019s important for to give that message to young people across the board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.djournal.com\/news\/oxford-mayor-to-establish-leadership-program-for-girls\/article_745f1b18-33e8-53cf-8145-a17f170798db.html\">source<\/a>)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14544 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"The Local Voice Ligature\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayor Robin Tannehill and her assistant Cindy Semmes\u00a0are working to develop a leadership program aimed at fifth grade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253,"featured_media":37222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[11196,11194,11195,11193,642,4,11198,11197],"class_list":["post-42861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-government","tag-5th-grade","tag-cindy-semmes","tag-leadership-program","tag-mayor-tannehill","tag-ms","tag-oxford","tag-programs","tag-school-club"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016-12-28-Tannehill-1.jpg?fit=620%2C349&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/253"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
