YOUTH LEADERSHIP MIAMIYouth Leadership Miami’s mission is to cultivate young leaders from all segments of our community by educating, developing, and encouraging them to become actively engaged in the community – today and in the future. Youth Leadership
Miami (YLM) brings together freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors from both public and private schools throughout Miami-Dade
County to meet and interact with Miami leaders. The goal of the program is to expand awareness of the community and broaden
personal experiences, as well as explore future professional goals. This takes place within a fun, energized environment.
During the two-day conference, participating teens will have multiple opportunities to increase their self-awareness
and leadership skills through a variety of creative, civic, and environmentally-themed activities. Participants must be present
during both days of the conference and take part in a community project to receive their certificate of completion. Students
are required to complete an application process and submit a creative writing entry prior to being selected to participate.
YLM will be held Friday, February 3 and Saturday, February 4, 2012 at the Florida International University, Biscayne Bay Campus,
3000 NE 151st Street, Miami, FL 33181. There is no cost
to attend the conference. Breakfast and lunch will be provided both days. In addition, students may receive community service
hours for attending both days. To view program details, click here. To download the 2012 Youth Leadership Miami application, click here. For information contact Leana Cianfoni at 305-577-5425 or lcianfoni@miamichamber.com |
