Frequently Asked Questions

2011 Conference Recap

The theme of last year conference was Don’t Hate, Innovate! Simply put, great leaders are innovative. They possess knowledge, vision, are willing to collaborate, take risks(when necessary), and are resilient. Through a fun and new program format, the 2011 Conference strives to teach these skills to our students.

2010 Conference Recap

The 2010 YLC Conference theme was– Can Y’all Hear Me Now?. The conference inspired high school students to explore the multitude of communications related issues that affect their environment and to empower them with the knowledge and leadership skills necessary to actively engage their communities.

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.
