2017 Young Leaders’ Institute
In order to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st century, students need to be globally competent. The Young Leaders Institute (YLI) is a week-long program intended to prepare Houston high school students for leadership in a globally interconnected city and world. Students will engage in the four tenets of global competency:
- Investigate the world
- Recognize perspectives
- Communicate ideas
- Take action
Throughout the week, students will learn the value of collaboration as they work in teams, researching, debating, and presenting solutions for the challenges facing our world. They will be mentored throughout the week by Asia Society staff and local experts in their respective fields.
An application is required to be admitted to the program, and the deadline to apply is Friday, May 19, 2017. Due to a generous donation, the Institute will be offered free of charge in 2017. If you have questions, please contact Saleena Jafry at [email protected].
