2009 Conference Recap
A common suggestion for the program from previous YLC students was to address how and when to apply the leadership skills learned from conference in a real world setting. The theme for YLC Conference 2009 was Call to Action. During the conference, we presented the students with a “call to action” – a call for our students to plan, organize, and execute their own community service project. YLC engaged students to explore the concerns that affected their communities and where they could play a role. This pledge required students to use the leadership skills learned from conference and apply that knowledge to effect real, positive change. Conference served as an opportunity for students to build on their self confidence and improve upon their skills in organization, prioritization, and communication.
