Each two-hour session will include role-playing scenarios designed to develop interpersonal skills and confidence building necessary for them to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The Sheriff’s Blazer Academy will provide dinner each night, transportation if needed, dress attire fitted to each student and a graduation/dinner ceremony.
