NC State students invited to submit proposals for Triangle Youth Leadership Conference
Triangle Youth Leadership Services, which hosts the annual Triangle Youth Leadership Conference (TYLC), is accepting presentation proposals for the spring 2014 conference, said Andriy Shymonyak, a junior in Poole College and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and TYLC workshop director. Proposals are being accepted from NC State undergraduate students for the fifth annual conference.
“The purpose of TYLC is to motivate and empower participants to create positive change in their community,” Shymonyak said. “To accomplish this purpose, the conference brings together high school students from across the state of North Carolina for a two-day curriculum that places them in teams and challenges each participant to tackle real-life community issues,” he said.
Workshop presentations that challenge the high school participants are a core component of the conference, Shymonyak added.
“The pillars of Triangle Youth Leadership Services are diversity, development and social responsibility, as we believe these three are fundamental to leadership and to making a change in one's community,” he said. “We attempt to integrate these pillars into our conference each year and emphasize them consistently, specifically through the workshop presentations.”
Undergraduate students interested in submitting a proposal are asked to complete the following proposal submission form and send it by email to Shymonyak at avshymon@ncsu.edu by 5 p.m. on December 20, 2013. Contact Shymonyak also for additional information about this program or discuss an extension on the deadline.
"This is a great opportunity to interact with passionate and motivated students from around the state and share with them information that they can use to make a difference in their communities while learning from them at the same time," he said.
