MIDLAND, Texas — The Midland Young leaders Challenge has open up its applications for Fall 2021.

Applications are available for high school juniors in Midland County. This includes Midland ISD, Greenwood ISD and private schools in the area.
The event will take place on June 16-17 at Midland College with keynote speaker Tony Cucolo who served as an Army Major General.
