On Saturday February 13, 2010, Youth Leadership Council (YLC) volunteers made an appearance at the Chinese Community Center on Town Park Dr. For those of you who were approached by one of our enthusiastic volunteers and decided to visit our website, thanks for visiting! We hope you’ll attend our upcoming conference from June 25 to June 27, 2010.

Whether you apply as a student or a mentor, you have a number of ways to receive notification about the release of the applications.

Students must be attending high school in Fall 2010 to apply. We release the student application sometime around late March.

Mentors must have completed at least 2 years of college to apply. Recent college graduates are also encouraged to apply. Expect to see the mentor application in April.

Before we sign off, we have a new year’s gift for everyone! We created a YLC slideshow that recaps Conference 2009 and gives those of you who are new to YLC a small glance of what YLC is like. The slideshow debuted at our Banquet 2 weeks ago.

And in case you missed it, check out the YLC 2009 music video!

For 2 minutes and 46 seconds, you can relieve the memories of YLC 2009. Someone took all of the footage that was shot at YLC (probably 30 GB worth), sifted through all of it, cut out the exciting bits, and set it to music. And who was this special little someone that did all of this for us? Nick Fung – our mentor extraordinaire and Cafe Y 2009 MC. Enjoy!
