COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Columbia Mayor-Elect Steve Benjamin spoke to more than 200 students Thursday hoping to inspire them.
Benjamin told W.K. Keenan High School that hard work will put them on the road to success.
"It lets me know I can go anywhere I want to go life," says student Aires Jordan. "I don't have to limit myself."
"These young people aren't just our future, they're our right now and we must invest in them," Benjamin explains.
The students, Benjamin and other local leaders spoke with are participating in the Columbia Urban League's Youth Leadership Development Institute Camp.
