Extended for 2012 National Youth Leadership Training

The deadline to apply to attend the 2012 National Youth Leadership Training has been extended to Friday, May 25 2012.

The National Youth Leadership Training, held July 14-21 at the Audubon Center of the North Woods in Sandstone, Minn., is a life-changing week of adventure, self-discovery, cultural exchange, leadership-building, and service where young people learn the skills needed to tackle pressing issues in their communities, including the achievement gap. Youth participants attend the eight-day training, and adult mentors join for the final three days.

“In response to racial tensions with 1970’s school desegregation, NYLC founder Jim Kielsmeier launched what is now called the National Youth Leadership Training as a place for all young people to create and grow in an inclusive community. Today, NYLC remains committed to developing young leaders through this transformational program.” — Kelita Bak, NYLC CEO
