Every year, the Clay County Chamber of Commerce brings together emerging leaders through the Leadership Clay program to champion a project capable of making a lasting impact on our community.
This year, the Leadership Clay Class of 2026 has chosen to stand alongside Chamber member, Hope is Restored, a vital local nonprofit dedicated to healing, restoration, and advocacy.
Hope is Restored works tirelessly to bring awareness, prevention, and healing resources to individuals facing exploitation and trauma. Together, our goal for this year's project is to raise the necessary funds to produce a high-impact, educational short film detailing the realities and dangers of online teen sextortion. This modern threat aggressively targets minors across social platforms, often with devastating psychological impacts. This film will serve as an essential resource for local schools, parents, law enforcement, and youth organizations, giving them the tools to recognize warning signs, protect children, and save lives.
