The International Youth Leadership Institute (IYLI), a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989, prepares African American and Latino secondary school students to assume active leadership roles in their community and global society. Through IYLI, students embark upon a lifetime of meaningful participation in their local and global communities. Signature academic programs based on the framework of history, culture, geography and environment provide training and exposure to prepare well-informed leaders and citizens. IYLI emphasizes the connections between local and global conditions, challenges and opportunities.
IYLI reinforces a belief that individuals can improve their society and their world by first developing themselves.
IYLI fosters critical thinking and analysis about challenging global issues. Students expand their awareness and skills by participating in international study, internships, regularly scheduled seminars, and civic and community service. A key premise of IYLI’s approach is that experience and exposure are great equalizers that build self-confidence and personal efficacy.
