In November 2003, the Mayor's Youth Corps was announced by former Mayor Pam Iorio, former Hillsborough County Superintendent Dr. Earl Lennard, and J.P. Morgan Senior Vice President Gene Marshall during a news conference on the banks of the Hillsborough River. The goal in structuring the Mayor's Youth Corps was to meet then Mayor Pam Iorio's vision of an organization that provided opportunities for community service and a voice to the Mayor while developing leadership skills.
