Throughout the course of the year, you will be exposed to a wide array of topics, issues, leaders, area challenges. Your own interests and passions will become clearer to you. At the conclusion of KCT you will submit your Personal Engagement Plan which describes your passion and how you intend to be civically engaged in the future. This is a one-page simple narrative document which you will use as the basis of a 4-5-minute presentation to your class in May.
