      Come to attend these training programs if you are ambitious to become a leader
in the future. We believe it will benefit you a lot. What   you   could   expect   from
these programs is as the following descriptions by Deanne Alspach, the Admissions Director.

      Your students will j oin with  extraordinary young  people  from over 30 countries
to expand their leadership skills and cultural awareness. Throughout the Conference ,
they will benefit from the opportunity to meet and discuss various global issues with
high ranking diplomats , international financiers and prominent media figures. Your
students will gain valuable political, social and economic perspectives.They will be part
of a truly inspirational educational experience, enhanced through interaction with other
young   leaders from the United States and/or throughout the world. Upon successful completion of the Conference, your   students   will   receive   the prestigious National /
Global Leadership Diploma of Achievement.

      These programs   are   held by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, which
is an independent non-profit educational organization with over 425 members of the
United States Senate and House of Representatives on it honorary advisory board. In the seminar, you will meet with some administrators in the United States Government,
interact with distinguished journalists and diplomats, and you will get a chance to visit
some historic relics or famous organizations, such as the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial ,
The Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, the Smithsonian Institution, and etc.

My GYLC Experience

　
        The first thing that struck me about GYLC was the diversity of students. The name
   is not a lie , it trulyis Global. There are people from Kenya , Germany , Hong Kong,
   Australia , New Zealand , England , Hungary , and   the list goes on. It was really
   interesting to see the different o utstanding youths from different parts of the world ,
   gathered in one place. You are split into LGMs (Leadership Group Meetings) and you
   get to know the people in the LGM pretty well. By the end of 12 days , we were all
   pretty close. Each LGM represents one country. For example, our LGM represented
   Venezuela. There are simulations and activities that you do with your LGM, which
   all gear towards a final " global summit " where the whole conference gathers . The
   global summit alone is worth the trip of GYLC because it is held in the United Nations
   headquarters in New York City. That place is amazing. It's huge, and we got to sit in
   the same seats that people in the UN sit in when they have their meetings and such. As
with any leadership conference , or any experience for that matter, GYLC is a place
where you can make as much as you want of it. You can just sit back and relax and just
   suck in everything that's going around you. Or you could be more aggressive, and
   make the most of it. It's up to you. I suggest that you go to a session that none of your
   classmates or friends are going to. Expand your comfort zone and get to mingle with
   different people from different parts of the world. Get to know your roommate. It will
   definitely be worth it.

My NYLC Experiences

　
      The National Young Leaders Conference provides good opportunities for teenagers
to strengthen their speech skills, teamwork skills, and social skills. At NYLC, the leaders
of tomorrow develop abilities that will be useful  in occupations both inside and outside
of politics . The conference is also an excellent chance to meet other teenagers from
diverse corners of the U.S. and explore Capitol Hill. The workload at NYLC is very
heavy, but all in all the Conference is a very enjoyable and useful experience.

       The conference was six days long related to politics. There were also trips to renown
   places like the Washington Memorial, White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Tiring?
   Yes. Interesting? Most of the time. Recommendable?  If you are someone interested in
   politics or want to become a leader of tomorrow.                                                                                                           By Cindy Huang, 11A

        National Young Leaders Conference was a great once in a lifetime experience. By
   spending 6 days with a couple of strangers, I've strengthened my communication and
   cooperation skills. Like many other camps, the first few hours were hard and difficult.
   However, after I got to know everyone, things were much easier. Strangers became
friends and I began to enjoy it more and more each day. Although some of the time
   spent there was bit boring, the experience was great.
