National Youth Leadership Institute
NSLA aims to improve the lives of America’s most vulnerable students by promoting the importance of the critical summer months when achievement and opportunity gaps grow most significantly between lower and higher income students.
As part of that mission, NSLA has created the National Youth Leadership Institute (NYLI), a showcase of the best exemplars of high impact curriculum and program partners. NYLI brings together students and staff from NSLA’s award winning programs around the country to Washington, DC for a week-long celebration of summer learning.
- Programs are invited to nominate one rising 9th-12th grader and one staff member to attend the Institute July 15-19, 2024 in Washington, DC during Summer Learning Week.
- Housing and conference will all be held at the beautiful and historic campus of The American University, providing each participant with safety and convenience. Transportation to and from DC, housing, and meals for the week will be provided.
