Youth Leadership Conference: Challenging Potential Leaders
Youth Leadership Conference: Challenging Potential Leaders
Typically held in early August, the Youth Leadership Conference (YLC) focuses on older residents of child care agencies that have been identified as leaders, or potential leaders, on our campuses.
Set in a camp atmosphere, the students have opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills and are challenged to return to their respective campuses and demonstrate those skills. The conference is coordinated by outstanding, national youth motivational speakers and who challenge, motivate, and relate well with the students.
