The Northeast Region is proud to announce
2011 YSDC Scholarships for NER Councils.
The YSDC Scholarship is designed to
encourage all Councils to send youth to the Youth Staff Development
Course. The
objective is for all Northeast Region Councils to conduct the best NYLT
course possible by sending NYLT youth staff to the NER Youth Staff
Development Course.
Qualify for a YSDC Scholarship by meeting these criteria:
If your council did NOT attend YSDC last
year; send two youth and the second youth is free!
OR
If your council attended YSDC last
year; send four youth and the fourth
youth is free!
How:
Council representative
checks the appropriate box at the bottom of the YSDC Participant
Application and submits the application.
“YSDC was a life changing experience. I learned so much on presenting, evaluating, and leadership. I am going to take so much information back to my YLT. The staff at YSDC is so much fun and enthusiastic that you feel like staff. I learned a lot and it is something I will remember and use for the rest of my life. Thank you YSDC.”
Dan, Chester County Council, YSDC Graduate
