Devin Davis, a rising junior and student leader at De La Salle High School in New Orleans, was recently selected to serve on the 2013-2014 Executive Board of the International Youth Council.
Devin is one of only 50 teens from around the world (only 3 from USA) selected for this board. His selection was based on an essay he wrote about his dream for a better tomorrow and his mindset about leadership. Devin will be attending the Youth Assembly in early August at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
