The Youth Leadership Council is proud to announce our Conference 2010 theme – Can Y’all Hear Me Now?. This year’s conference will inspire 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.
