YLI Interns

Lauren Adamson is a Junior at Blue Valley North.

“YLI was a great experience that helped me learn to take leadership roles that earlier might have been out of my comfort zone.”

Evan Davis is a homeschooled Junior.

“I am so glad I went to YLI 2011!! There is no excuse to miss such a great opportunity–where else can you hear people like Kay Barnes one day and shoot guns at Ft. Leavenworth the next day? You will never regret taking one week out of the summer to learn so much.”

“YLI was the highlight of my summer. I liked it so much, this is my third year with it!”

Anusha Imran is a Junior at Blue Valley High School.

“YLI has opened many doors and relationships to me, I’ve learned a lot about my character and the inner skills I have. YLI has taught me that to be a leader you don’t have to be the loudest one, but to take care of others and make sure the task at hand gets done.”

Cricket Martin is a Junior at St. Teresa’s Academy.

“Going through the Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) made me a more confident person able to take charge in situations that need me.”
