  • THE NATIONAL HISPANIC INSTITUTE & THE YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCE FOR 9TH GRADERS

    The YLC focuses on communication as a powerful tool of leadership.

    The Young Leaders Conference (YLC) allows high school freshmen the opportunity to test and improve their written and verbal communication skills through organized discussions and debates about issues that impact today's Latino community. Students gain confidence in public speaking and an appreciation of communication as a powerful tool of leadership.

    Students gain experience creating content-rich arguments, communicating them through powerful, eloquent expression, and carefully analyzing the arguments presented by their peers.

    After attending YLC, students benefit from:

       
    * Expanded written and verbal communication skills
       
    * Increased knowledge of advanced vocabulary
       
    * Greater confidence in seeking out and taking on leadership roles
       
    * Increased knowledge and awareness of issues vital to the 21st century        Latino community

    Admission Requirements
    NHI staff and community volunteers annually visit key high schools throughout the nation to identify students to attend NHI programs.

    Additional students may be nominated by NHI alumni, high school guidance offices, or seek admission to programs based solely on their own interest. Qualified students are accepted to the programs on a “first come, first serve” basis.

    All students who wish to become involved in NHI programs must meet the following admission requirements.
        * Must submit the appropriate application with parent and counselor
           signatures, along with a student photo and list of accomplishments
       
    * Submit most recent copy of transcript (for students applying in the fall
           semester, your transcript from the previous spring semester is
           acceptable) Possess a 88 GPA on a 100 point scale 
       
    * Be enrolled in a college bound or honors curriculum
