NYLT Leadership Academy
and Alpine Conference
for National Youth Leader Training staff

     As an adult volunteer or professional delivering council wide leadership training to youth, you have accepted a special opportunity.  The opportunity to inspire, teach and enhance the lives of the future leaders in our country with the National Youth Leader Training course.  The Northeast Region Youth Leader Training team offers several programs to assist and support you in this awesome responsibility.

Alpine Conference Program for Adults
    The Alpine Conference program for adults is designed to provide the knowledge, assistance and
networking adults need to deliver a world-class NYLT program in your council.

Alpine Conference Program for Youth
The Alpine Conference program for youth is designed for SPL's and ASPL's of your council NYLT.  These outstanding youth have often already attended NYLT Leadership Academy and will be your top youth leaders.  At the conference they will meet with top youth leaders from other councils on how to effectively deliver the NYLT course.

NYLT Leadership Academy Program for Youth
The NYLT Leadership Academy for youth is designed for all your NYLT youth staff.  It teaches all your youth staff how to be outstanding presenters, evaluators and model leaders.  It also teaches in-depth understanding of the key NYLT leadership models.  NYLT youth staff usually attend very early in their NYLT staffing tenure.  Some councils send youth before they may serve as staff, while other councils send youth after they have successfully staffed NYLT.  Many councils require youth to successfully attend NYLT Leadership Academy to be considered for top youth staff positions.

NYLT Leadership Academy Program for Adults
The NYLT Leadership Academy program for adults is designed for NYLT adult volunteers to visit while youth from your council are attending.  The week your youth are attending you are invited to arrive Thursday for dinner and stay through the closing Saturday morning.  You will observe the process and participate in some activities.  The NYLT Leadership Academy adult staff will facilitate a team meeting with the youth and adults from your council.  This program is not for parents, only uniformed NYLT adult staff who want to improve their council leadership training to the highest levels are invited.
