LOCAL TEENS DEVELOP LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES
National Young Leaders State Conference Provides Framework for the Nation’s Future
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This fall 2007 school year, outstanding 8th and 9th grade students from across the
nation will take part in a unique leadership development program being held in 32 cities across the
country. Themed Courageous Leadership, the National Young Leaders State Conference (NYLSC)
helps young scholars take an introspective and highly-personalized assessment of their leadership skills
and abilities.
Throughout the four-day program, scholars will build a working “toolkit” of strategies to help
them successfully dream, create and implement plans that will change how they view their role as leaders
in their communities.
“The steps each person takes in discovering his or her own leadership strengths can be a very
personal process,” said Mike Lasday, executive director of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council
(CYLC), the organization that sponsors NYLSC. “The National Young Leaders State Conference will
help students get at the heart of their innate talents and skills and will also help them identify how best
they can serve within their communities.”
The NYLSC curriculum focuses on an introspective and highly-personalized assessment of each
student’s leadership skills and abilities. The scholars will be challenged to step forward in a manner that is
decisive and confident, to grasp the concepts of leadership that will be taught and to act upon their dreams
of making a difference in the world while maintaining the courage of their convictions.
The Congressional Youth Leadership Council is a nonpartisan educational organization. Founded
in 1985, the CYLC is committed to fostering and inspiring young people to achieve their full leadership
potential. Nearly 400 members of the U.S. Congress join this commitment by serving on the CYLC
Honorary Congressional Board of Advisors. In addition, more than 50 embassies participate in the
CYLC’s Honorary Board of Embassies.
