welcome
Youth Leaders International's mission is to inspire and empower youth of the world to become leaders by providing opportunities far beyond the everyday scope of school, religion, and community.
Our passion is to instill leadership qualities and a global conscience in young adults, ages 14-17, through example, experiences of all types, worthy ideals, vital skills, and progressive paradigms that will challenge today's thoughts in preparation for tomorrow's thinking.
YLI believes in teamwork, integrity, sustainability, truth, and creativity.
Youth Leaders International offers a journey of self-discovery, opportunity to travel and experiences only dreamed about.
YLI provides an exhilarating opportunity for youth to define new limits, to accomplish new goals, and to build a unique foundation for future life experiences.
It has been said through all ages that life is a "collection of great memories" – Youth Leaders International will be one of them.

"The team building activities were my favourites. Testing and pushing your limits, along with being in a situation where you need to rely on your team mates at least as much as you rely on yourself is a precious experience, with results that are often surprising. You learn to overcome fears, to act around your weaknesses, and to cooperate, you build confidence in yourself – and have a lot of fun while you're at it."
YLI Alumnus from Romania, Class of 2007
