What really got to me was that these are regular kids who recognize that they have the power to make a difference in their communities.

For decades student leadership has been limited to established traditions that often muted their voices and stifled change. WE BELIEVE that through our partnership with yli an entirely new level of public service, leadership, justice, and equity is being achieved by students and staff. Our yli student-leaders are transforming school culture through their ongoing advice and advocacy with our adult-leaders. Together we have discovered new ways to serve, challenge, lead, and value our students’ experiences!
