(WGTD)---When meeting with students, Racine Park High School guidance counselor Jeff Wilkins stresses the importance of volunteerism and taking on leadership roles when given the opportunity.  

Jeff--our newest Education Matters co-host--brought on two like-minded individuals for his first program. Melissa Kaprelian is a Racine County Board Supervisor. Ignatio Tellez is a Park High School junior who is a leader at the regional level in Key Club, a national service organization that operates at the high school level. He also is part of the Racine County Board's Youth in Governance program, of which Kaprelian helps lead. 

Hear both talk about volunteering and leading in this program.
