 This is your chance to make a difference in the lives of those around you, not only for today, but for years to come. The high school students of today will be, within five to ten years, the leaders in your community. They are bright; they are enthusiastic; they are determined to make a difference in the world. If you are committed to projects for today’s youth, I know that you are willing to invest in their future.
The Youth Leadership & Diversity Conference is such a project because it is so much more than just a leadership camp. Studies show that in order for a person to be an effective leader, he or she must have a thorough knowledge of one’s own self. That knowledge of self is just one of the many aspects of what this conference is all about. Activities are designed to break down barriers like prejudice, bigotry, and apathy while teaching leadership and diversity through understanding and compassion. Communication and listening skills are stressed. Discussion groups are used to facilitate the sharing of ideas. Through the structured sessions provided, delegates are brought to a greater understanding of the value that each person possesses. This conference intentionally forces them to think, to bond, and to react based upon the greater good for all involved. If you have been a sponsor in the past, then you know the influence this conference has on its delegates. There is magic here. We know because delegates have told us. So have their parents. It is amazing how much more confident and self-assured a person can become in only one week with the proper guidance and support system in place. We make an astounding difference in the lives of our delegates. This year’s conference is again being held at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan. It is a beautiful campus and their staff couldn’t be more delighted to have us. We have earned the reputation of “The Best Summer Conference on Campus”. The cost per delegate is just $300. The only criterion is that delegates must be entering the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade in the fall. If you check around, you’ll find that we are the least expensive five-day conference, by far. And, we offer a superior program. Applications are due by June 1st to: Conference Director
PO Box 800
Wayne, MI 48184 Keep an additional copy of each application for your organization or club records. It is important that you keep in contact with the delegates you are sending. A personal letter will also be mailed to each individual delegate explaining everything that needs to be known about the conference.
