Where are they now?
T
ucker Green, 27, enjoyed his experience so much
as one of Amicalola EMC's Washington Youth Tour
(WYT) delegates in 2015 that he didn't hesitate to say " yes "
when asked to serve as a chaperone for the weeklong experience
in 2022.
" When the opportunity presented itself, I didn't think
twice about it, " he says. " It was a great experience, just like
my original trip as a delegate! I grew close with many people
and made new friends, both with fellow chaperones and my
group of student-delegates.
" It's been awesome to keep up with several of the
students, too, as they've now started college. Chaperoning
gave me encouragement for our future, with these bright
young leaders on the horizon. "
In reflecting on his own experience as a delegate, Green
says his favorite takeaways from participating in the WYT
are the friendships he developed and continues to hold
dear.
" In one week, we went from being strangers to being
like family, " he says. " Several of my fellow delegates and
I still keep up today. It's great seeing how everyone has
started their lives and careers. "
