Today our GYLI (Global Youth Leadership Institute) Year 1 group departed for LA where they will meet with other young people from around the USA. Together they will explore the themes of identity, collaboration and leadership while learning how to sail a tall ship in the Pacific Ocean. We wish all the best to our 5 rising sophomores and to our chaperones - can't wait to hear all about your California adventures!

GYLI Year 2 begins!
Today our GYLI (Global Youth Leadership Institute) Year 2 participants departed for New Mexico where they will spend the next 6 days with other rising 11th grade students from around the USA. While in New Mexico, they will review leadership lessons learned in GYLI Year 1 and will reflect more deeply on their own identity and leadership style. GYLI Year 2 takes place in beautiful northern New Mexico at the Lama foundation in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. It is a peaceful and spiritual place and an ideal setting to connect with others, the land and one's self. We are excited for our 3 Year 2 participants and we can't wait to hear more from them and their chaperones in the coming days!
